Terry,

Now perhaps you wish to explain that comment—there sure are a lot of people
doing PT/PD printing and using some form of contrast control. For example,
with your in camera negatives, you certainly have to match the exposure scale of
the PT/PD to fit the density range of the negative. Though it is possible
perhaps to print PD without any contrast control, I doubt that one could tell
the difference between such a print and one made with a PD mix using an
exposure scale up around Log 3.0.

So, what's your point again? Contrast control degrades printed results?
That's a new one to me. Looking forward to your explaination on that one.

Best Wishes,
