Hi Rob:
I just thought I'd let you know, when I started at S&T as the Photographer
there were an number of comments made about the darkness of the images,
and actually Alan MacRobert really brought it to a head and asked me to
see what I could do. I eventually found a set of new "Dot Gain" settings
for the CMYK profile in Photoshop that seems to be doing the trick. But
I'll keep trying to make the reproduction quality better for you guys.
