A method for selecting an aim curve for a desired medium having a predetermined maximum density, including selecting an aim curve from a family of aim curves for a different medium having a lower predetermined maximum density than that of the desired medium, the aim curve having shadow, midtone, and highlight regions; varying the shadow contrast in the shadow region of the selected aim curve to produce a different aim curve; and determining the different aim curve with the desired medium that has an improved shadow contrast that will produce prints with reduced flare and permits a better fit of the dynamic range of the original scene to the dynamic range of the medium.
