but the same file, got pitch black on the Pt/Pd print, I tried to open the shadow a little bit in the Photoshop and re-adjust the level, the curve, just can't get it right, at least to my eye. i mean the black is blocky, ugly looking.
is that hard to get a nice deep dark details on Pt prints? I knew that Pt is good on the middle/upper tone..
Jim.K, my friend on this forum suggests me to over-expose, say, zone 3 to zone 5, then N-2 to get all the dark details i need on the Pt print, and meanwhile you can adjust them in the Photoshop to get a darker detail on the digital print...
any ideas?
Cheers
Andrew
