Re: [APML] more LRGB madness



Joe,
 
    The Lagoon shot is very "monotonic" ... I would expect both histograms to be roughly equal on something like that... try something that has more variety like a nature shot or something... lots of color and density range. That should work. At the very least you can see that the two histograms had to match up... but I am finding that having the RGB histogram slightly "wider" than the L histogram gives the most "photo-realistic" results when printing to an ink jet like mine... truly the best of both worlds when making an LRGB... color does not have to be sharp at all but it must have the "range" across the histogram... and the L just needs to be super clean and super sharp.... when you put the two together, the results are amazing compared to conventional imaging. I'll be posting a comparison of my best film M-51 and the CCD M-51 soon... you're not going to believe the difference.
