That makes sense. I did look for a key on the contrast column, but couldn't find one. Also what is self-evident to the experience photographer may not be at all to the novice. :-) > > Slides are inherently more contrast than prints.

There are lots of types of art paper: charcoal, pencil, watercolor. With different weights and grains from fine to very rough. Doesn't change the overall image, but changes the texture and the way the pencil (etc.) strokes are laid down. And what one likes is often (what you said about Agfa RSXII 100) a combination of the intention of the medium (paper/film) and personal preference. Got to explore this film thing more. Definitely. > Bruce Everyone is so patient here, Doe aka Marnie :-)
