The thanks go to you, Walter, for providing a great shot for me to mess around with. I suspected that you were having an off-day with your conversions, as you've confirmed. That's something I've also experienced, not getting a handle on things and chasing my tail around the colour wheel but never managing to hit the bulls-eye.
At least it's cheaper now that we don't need to burn a box of paper getting our eyes tuned to correct tone and colour balance. In darkroom days the culprit was viewing light quality, now monitor calibrations are the bogeymen of picture quality. FWIW I don't have my monitor calibrated by any software or instruments, and whenever it has been calibrated I always run into problems, except years ago with the late lamented Picture Publisher. I simply make sure that photos of undoubted high quality I encounter around the web, as well as grey step wedges and colour patches, look their best on my monitor. I still trust my own eyes. regards, Anthony Farr On 23/11/2007, Walter Hamler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Your PS skills are obviously far greater than mine.
