Hello Yves,
> I don't have Dan's book but one thing is for sure, there are so many variables in play from the original to the final print that I would be very surprised if you could use someone else curve just like that. <
Unfortunately I only took a fast look in Danīs book at a workshop and am not familiar with Markīs method. But you are absolutely correct. There are a lot of variables and working constantly is a must to make prints reproducible. To take a curve from someone and trying to make prints similar to those of the curve originator is very difficult if not impossible without copying the whole process 1/1.
And yes, specific color spaces for a better control can be made. Have put a curve, preview and print example on http://fb42.s6.domainkunden.de/kunden/hamann/Cyanotypes/Cyano_Test.htm and would really like to know if this kind of workflow makes sense for the forum members. Then it maybe justified to write a bocklet and provide the software needed.
All the best
Kai
