Re: Moonrise Hernandez 2007
Kirk it sounds like you are describing either GCR or UCR, which occurs on out of gamut colours. Basically one goes more towards a greyer tone, while the other removes a percentage of the least of four (or six) colours. So one provides a muddier/duller look, while the other provides a slightly shift in colour.

It looks like a kind of posterization of the colors that are out of gamut. Does that make sense?
Yes, thanks, Kirk. I printed Dye Transfers for 50 years so I understand the physics -- it's the current buzzwords that confuse/puzzle me. I presumed that GAMUT had something to do with GAMMA until I looked it up. D'oh!

we are talking shovels and shovels - not shovels and wrenchs
the right camera for the right situation; I don't use by view camera to photograph an Ebay auction. I don't use my dslr to photograph a great scenic or still life.

I see what you mean. My reference is only to those situations where both tools are considered the same, when they are not. I use my DSLR mainly for posting to my blog. For travel stuff, I shoot 35mm and for landscapes, I use 4x5.

that sounds like a nice set of shovels!
