Exposing darker by dimming the flash probably isn't what you want. Maybe try stopping down the lens for the desired black point, and then increasing flash power if needed for the white? Even then, that setup may simply not be able to create the needed range. You could try pointing the camera so that one edge of the frame shows the edge of the table and a truly dark space beyond it. The best way to keep light spill off of the "black" area is for there to be nothing there for light to hit. ;) -- jys ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
