Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the help guys. I tried the Tyler curves and the 1290 
curves with the wedge. Tyler curves gave flat spots around 45-60 and 
again around 80. The tones looked ok, but I guess my idea of what the 
tone the cool curve should give wasn't right. The 1290 curves looked 
good as far as the transitions go. But every curve seemed like a 
medium-warm. So far the 1280 has given the best results all around. 
That might change as I haven't gotten into papers other than EEM. So 
for now I'll stick with the 1280 and try to mess with the cool tone 
to get a cooler image. Appreciate the help guys. Thanks again.
