Rik Kelly		B&W Printing I use a Beseler color enlarger in my lab, and I had a chart that converted the contrast filter numbers into equivalents in yellow and magenta. Where can I find this chart now that I've lost it? To love this question, log in above January 05, 2001

cathy		Rik, I have a Saunders/LPL dichroic color enlarger and I wonder if it's similar enough to the Beseler for my info. to help. The chart I have says the following: Kodak Poly III RC LPL Paper Grade Setting ___________________________ 0 80Y 1 40Y 2 5M 3 30M 4 70M 5 130M Ilford MG III RC LPL Paper Grade setting ____________________________ 0 90Y 1 45Y 2 15M 3 60M 4 125M 5 200M* *requires the use of additional gel filtration. I use the Ilford settings regardless of the paper I print with. Hope this is helpful! To love this comment, log in above February 17, 2001

cathy		Now that I see the way what I typed showed up on the page, it is somewhat confusing! Somehow the 2 columns I typed out for each company's filters were condensed on this page. One column was for the Koadk filter #s, 0-5, and one for the LPL settings, 80Y-130M. Likewise with the Ilford filters. Hope that helps. To love this comment, log in above February 17, 2001
