And if you can get a raw scan then it should preferably be 16bits per colour channel so that you have room to tweak after the fact. If you shot a frame from a Kodak step card or a Macbeth Color Checker then at least you will have a reference to work to. All in all it sounds like a painful work around to accommodate a skill-less lab :-( Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
