Thanks, Paul. This is the very first time I have intentionally toned an image for viewing on paper. :) I am modelling the look after Mapplethorpe's images as seen in his book Some Women (Bullfinch Press, 1989) and almost all the tones lie in the extreme end zones; ie really dark and really light. Yes, challenging to smartphones and other portable devices, but them's the breaks. :)
I expect to be printing a few of the portraits for exhibition in the spring, and I'm pretty sure I'll have to do a few test prints before I get it right.
