Film curves & paper curves
Please could I have some recommendations to help me choose the best
papers for the following films?: APX100 Plus X Fuji Acros I understand that the paper curve should complement the film curve, but I haven't been able to find much information about the curves of the various papers which are available. I am particularly interested in portraiture. TIA - Phil Lamerton |

I appreciate this but can't I discount some film/paper combinations before I start experimenting? For example, a long-toe paper might be suitable for a T-grain film but shouldn't I look at other papers for Plus-X and APX? regards, Phil Lamerton |

A long toe will also help in recovering low-contrast images or those with high base fog; the longer exposures needed to print the shadows dark enough will have less tendency to burn out the shadows on a long toe paper compared with those having a more linear curve. -- I may be a scwewy wabbit, but I'm not going to Alcatwaz! -- E.
