A/B testing latest refinements (more depth, better details in clouds/highlights and contrast in mid tones). First image is the new version. Next stop double size, 14x10"...

Scan of a 7x5" kallitype print of a moody alpine landscape. A small hiking path leading into the background at the feet of talus fields and past a small mountain lake. Big dark clouds moving through the layers of rock towers
Scan of an earlier print of the same image with less contrast and detail, esp. in the clouds.

It's packaging time... archival parchment pouches, book binder's cardboard, linen tape, acid-free stickers.
