Fundamental question about the relevance of exposure scale with digital negatives

[maverickaesthetics]

Thanks for the insight, Bob. I know that you're friends with Calvin - I didn't mean to imply you weren't. I just wanted to acknowledge that your approaches were quite different.

I love it when threads go sideways like this: I haven't heard of UCR and GCR and have some interesting new stuff to look into now. Thanks for that. And to me, if you still practice the generation of your black layer as described in one of your older videos (as creating 'a space for colour to fill' to paraphrase it), it makes a lot of sense.

You must have seen/heard of Katayoun's work on the Yevonde prints as well, recently; your story of pigments reminds me of this project.

Now that you mention it, I vaguely remember reading about it, but never really looked into it. I've just found an article by the National Portrait Gallery on the work and it is absolutely fascinating. Thank you very much for pointing me into this direction...

And I too apologize if I have taken the thread off topic,, OOPss

Yours is the relevant experience. Makes me wish I hadn’t thrown out my Pictro.
