I'm having problems with interpreting RA-4 color negative paper sensitometry charts, more precisely it's density readings.
Especially what would a spectrometer see with a paper exposed to Dmax.
I see ...

How is spectral sensitivity of a camera calculated?
I understand that to recreate the spectral response of a camera's sensor, you need to use a monochromator/spectrometer to get calibrated images. But I'm not sure where you go from there. When looking ...
