Goal Density Tables
This section contains three tables that list goal densities for different
types of film. It also provides information about the goal densities you
should achieve when rendering digital images on continuous-tone color
film recorders using various types of media.
These tables specify goal densities for the neutral gray tone scale only.
Results have shown that if good neutral balance and a pleasing tone
scale are achieved, the rendering of non-neutral colors will also be
pleasing.
In some tables, the darkest goal densities (Dmax) are not specified.
This is because the hue of the media at its darkest point depends on
the film and cannot be controlled in software.
If Dmax values are specified, they can be used optionally if it is desir-
able to output the darkest neutral color available rather than a darker
but non-neutral Dmax.
