[Digital BW] Re: Matte vs Glossy Paper and the Holy Grail

2004-04-07 by Carl Schofield

Jeff - I've been using ISP on and off for about the same period of time, but I haven't 
yet noticed any yellowing.  I realize that this paper is not archival quality, but I do like 
the appearance of the prints for display.  I think that Paul is evaluating a buffer 
applied to the backside of the paper that may alleviate this problem.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
