film white vs. digital white

[JoeV]

Light edges of your picture can be caused by the condenser in the enlarger being miss adjusted. I like to set my enlarger's condenser to give slightly more exposure to the edges. This adjustment is made with a bellows like mechanism just above the enlargers lens.

I would also suggest for you to develop the print to completion, using a standard development time and adjust the print exposure in the larger instead.

You overexposed the paper.

Greyish means your negatives retains the highlight detail. So it's all up to the printing:

1. Reduce the exposure time when you print, or
2. Increase the paper overall contrast, or
3. Selectively dodging your highlights.

Are we talking about correcting what has been done or getting it right next time?

Thinking about getting it right next time I am wondering how each camera (film and digital) was metering. One could be averaging and the other c/w or else spot and so on.

And, to add to the fun, hand held meters don't all have the same FoV...

I switched to following this method last year and find it much easier. You will still end up with a print that could have been created with a single grade of filter, but it's definitely a faster way to get there for me.
