I should say to ignore the colour balance as I did a very quick grey/white point selection and left it at that. I HAVE found the Photolab to saturate reds a little more than Photoshop, and actually prefer their look, so have recalibrated the PS convertor to do the same.
I have noticed that CS seems to have much greater lattitude for recovering blown highlights compared to PhotoLab too. This is looking very good IMO... > -----Original Message----- > From: Gonz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 11 March 2004 14:52 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: RAW Conversion comparison > > > Interesting.
