I have recently aquired a Durst Labometer and an calibrating it for portra 160VC with Kodak Endura as my standard paper. I have posted 3 images below, from left to right ;
- Scan of grey card and colour swatch un daylight used as the calibration shot-seems OK, a little dull but OK.
- A scan of a negative I chose at random to check the calibration. It is light and insipid but without colour casts in the sky.
- A print of the same neg done on the Labometer. It seems a little dark.
My questions are as follows;
Do you think the print of the scanned neg is overly dark or is it just an exposure problem with the metering on the sky ?
Does anyone have any suggestions as to adjustments I should make in my 'standard' ?
Thanks - Colour is fun but I need to learn a lot !
