I'm just using my uncalibrated work monitors and Pal's shots that he recently displayed and many of those on the Ken Durcan look too unreal. I can't believe that Pal would need to boost saturation or contrast on a scan from Velvia. He showed like images a year or more ago, and I don't recall having the same negative reaction to the saturation back then. DOn't know if they were from the same post-process back then or not. As far as being successful, I suspect that with the digital manipulation age upon us, viewers get continually more desensitized as they view manipulated images and as time passes they need a little more to WOW them the next time. Just plain Velvia works for me. ;-) Tom C. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
