Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, Paul. I've done that, but I was thinking more about making a curve (like print transfer curves in older versions of Photoshop)  to alter the file based on the linearization data. I can do it manually but I thought maybe there was a way to just import the data somehow and do it automatically.
