No. My interpretation of what Bob said is that "if you use prints to evaluate your exposure quality/process, you have to take into account the vagaries of the printing process. To eliminate that, you have to use a first generation image producer - currently the only one is slide film" I find it hard to believe that you don't grasp the difference for this purpose between using positive film and making prints from either a negative or digital file. mike > > Jens Bladt > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt > > > -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- > Fra: William Robb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sendt: 20. maj 2005 15:29 > Til: [email protected] > Emne: Re: Understanding exposure?
