Quick question...
I avoid printing filters as best as I can, but I do use VC paper....
Can someone shed some light on this....
I was under the impression, VC paper, in simplified terms, adjusts to the contrast of the negative...ie. a contrasty negative will print to a higher grade, and vice versa for a softer negative...
If this were true and I were printing a contrasty negative, the VC paper should react as a higher grade paper? yes/no
Now if I were to use a 2 filter on this particular example - is the result a simulated 2 grade paper, or 2 grades below the original printed grade according to the VC paper and negative contrast?
Any input would be appreciated....I've "thunk" myself into a corner on this one...
Thanks,
Dan
