All I was saying is that I can pull out a lot of detail at either end from film that just will not go out straight to paper. The response ranges just don't match. I can burn an apparent white area extensively to pull detail out that is present on the negative. Conversely, I can dodge extensively an apparently black area of print and pull out detail that is present in the silver. (am I the only one who can see fine detail on a backlit neg with loupe, that just seems impossible to get it to paper with a straight print?, if I am, that's broken and needs fixing itself)
If I could create a negative with these areas already enhanced and matched to the sensitivity range of my paper by altering them pre-print in Photoshop that would be cool.
Thanks for your info btw.
