Are you saying that by using the 2 filters in separate exposures you can
produce a paper curve different then can be obtained using a single filter
setting
for one exposure? I always thought that anything that two filters used
separately could produce could be duplicated with one filter assuming that
filter
was perfect for the contrast needed. Talking here about using VC or color
heads allowing single filter setting to be adjusted. In practice when using VC
filter sets you may need to use two exposures to get between the grades. Or
are
you taking advantage of some nonlinear paper response to extreme filters?
