For some reaon never put the color correction in a layer, unlike
everything else--just not a habit. I had tried using the 'pillar white
for reference (perhaps that is how you got that version) but did not
want/like neutral rendition and it didn't look really "correct" for
the light. Having both for reference and modifying opacity is likely
just the ticket. Thanks for mentioning that. New lab has a different
scanner--we'll see if that maeks any difference with the Ektar that
should be processed and on the doorstep if I ever get home.

Well, you can judge for yourself. Back when Mike first posted this
image, I did
a more or less fully corrected version,
based on the assumption that there was some neutral white on them. And
then I
think it looksnatural.

If I want something in between the result of early or late light,
shade, etc.
and sunlight, and have a reference point,
I prefer to first go all the way in correction, then decide where in
between to
go with the opacity slider.
