Thanks Winsor
But Moose used 2 different interpretations, for want of a better
description, of the same image. I merely adjusted the various levels
with the wonderful PS tool Shadow/Highlight.
It's OK, I am not totally closed to the idea that Moose might be right
... but my experience with my only digital machine, compared with my
lovely slides (at least some them are gorgeous) tells me otherwise at
present. Interestingly, the staff of Amateur Photographer are of my
opinion, at present at least.
Chris (for whom the discussion is at least as interesting as the
conclusion ... ;-))
