The myths on
Color vs. Black-and-White Printing |
AnotherLAB
takes another and completely new road:
A Complete Computer Model of the
dryside in any lab with built-in Expert Knowledge.
Introducing the first
Darkroom Expert System, it opens new and exciting
possibilities:
- AnotherLAB
stresses manual control of each print combined
with automatic computing of the necessary
physical parameters.
- AnotherLAB is
designed for creative custom color printing. As
such it lets you stay in control. As such it
allows you to let your own eyes be the best guide
to any perfect print.
- Through the
entirely new concept of Print Styles it opens new
creative possibilities: Any discovered special
effect may be stored and repeated with any
equipment, with any paper.
- An automatically
updated Image- and Print-Database is unique to
this approach. Add dynamically linked Business
Clients and the program is unbeatable for any
professional lab.
- For anything but
mass-produced prints, AnotherLAB offers distinct
advantages. Some of which are unique to this
approach.
- And, unnecessary
to say, it works with both Positive and Negative
printing.

Basic features Of AnotherLAB:
- When set up, the
program represents a complete computer model of
the dry-side of your lab. All enlargers, optics,
films, paper types, and paper batches are
represented as objects. They are easily described
through a set of very visual dialogs.
- All exposure and
color calculations are computer based, giving a
first-time hit rate of more than nine times out
of ten.
- General- and Color
specific reciprocity are corrected for.
- AnotherLAB is
fast: The program will propose all parameters
with just two clicks on your mouse. Change any
parameter and you have a new filter-aperture-time
combination immediately.
- All print data are
Device-Independent: They are automatically
transferred to any enlarger-, lens-, or
paper-combination. Any print may be repeated or
used as a model on any equipment at any time.
- Special
Print-types that require special exposure-,
and/or color corrections are easily solved
through Print Styles.
- These Print Styles
- similar to style-sheets in professional word
processors - make it very easy to build your own
print model library, acting as models for any new
print. •All previous prints may be stored in
a print database for later retrieval and
printing. •The Prints may be linked to
Business clients and Image Indexes to speed up
and simplify the access.
- The program may
act as a self-learning Expert System: AnotherLAB
calculates the mean exposure for any papertype,
for any printstyle. With increasing print numbers
this guarantees an ever-increasing first-time
hit-rate.
- AnotherLAB keeps
track of your paper stock and sounds appropriate
warnings at your own preset levels.
- For work in the
dark, AnotherLAB features a special customized
DarkScreen. Also, mouse-operation is
indispensable in a Dark room.
- Great emphasis has
been attached to ease of learning and use.
AnotherLAB runs under Microsoft Windows with one
of the most comprehensive and well illustrated
Help Systems on the market.
