First you do a two dimensional test print. 1. Stick in low grade filter. Expose a test print as you would conventionally. 2. Stick in high grade filter. Expose the paper again from step 1. The only change is that now the test steps go across the other dimension. 3. The matrix will now allow you to pick overall exposure/contrast variables and plan burn/dodge scenarios to alter exposure/contrast throughout print. Jonathan Lee
