Description

Preseting T-Max, purported to be the best available B&W film....I guess.  As you can
tell, T-max is not my favorite film stock (give me Fuji Neopan Acros, Kodak Tri-X, or
the old Tech Pan any day).  T-mas is a fine grain, continuous tone panchromatic.  I
admit that it does have very fine grain, excellent sharpness, and has very good resolution.
However, in my experience using this film, I have been unimpressed.  It is just something
about the tonality that turns me off.  But that could have been processing as much as 
anything...I'll have to give the film another go and develop it myself.

<From Kodak>
KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX 100 Film / 100TMX is
a continuous-tone panchromatic black-and-white
negative film for general outdoor and indoor photography.
It is especially useful for detailed subjects when you need
maximum image quality. It is also excellent for copying
black-and-white photographs, for making black-and-white
copies from color transparencies, and for
photomicrography. This film features medium speed (ISO
100/21 in most developers), extremely high sharpness,
extremely fine grain, and very high resolving power. It
allows a very high degree of enlargement.

Kodak T-Max.lrtemplate:

  This preset is the base for the set.  The preset will set you basic tone values to 
  preset levels.  

Kodak T-Max Auto.lrtemplate:

  This preset utilizes all of the base preset, with the exception that it allows LR to
  apply is autotone feature to the photograph.

Kodak T-Max Curve.lrtemplate:

  This preset will utilize the exposure setting of you photo at time of application.  
  This preset primarily efects the grayscale mixer, tone curve and clarity, sharpening
  an noise reductions.


Hints for use:

  *  Utilize white balance dropped to adjust photo to best appearance.  

  *  Work with contrast and brightness to get proper gray density you desire.
  
  *  Utilize fill and recovery to bring out details.

  *  Increase clairty if softly textured, increase black levels to bring out more texture.


I hope you enjoy this preset, please provide me with feed back on the preset at my
blog, flickrmail, or twitter.
