It simply didn't want to "believe" that. The spacing between the frames, the space that is usually pitch black ... it rendered those spaces as pure white. It's like it gave up on trying to capture everything in between. That kind of behaviour turned up on 3 or 4 frames. Some of the other ones it could analyze and render correctly (with black spaces between the frames). In the frames that it couldn't handle, I got all kinds of artifacts. This frame was one of those. In addition to that, it was terribly "foggy" ... if ice hanging around in the air can be calle "fog". I should try something like that. I'll have to go in to the darkroom though or change printers. Mine is equipped with "warm tone" pigment inks. I could try at the office with Quadtone RIP and a "cool" tone to see what I get. It's been like that (the rim frost and fog) for four days now. It started on Friday and just blankets the west coast here. I hope it means that there is a warm front trying to battle its way in. Thanks!
