Hi, Yes, I thought the version from yesterday was ok.
Earlier today I re-did it using the rebate, and I think it’s better, and repeatable. After I’d done it I realised why it works, and how rational it is - as you describe. One of those things that’s obvious after the event. I can’t do colour work that relies on my judgement - I will have to find a way that works by numbers, or outsource it. I don’t think the volumes will be particularly high, and it’s only negatives that matter, slides don’t really require me to make any colour judgements.
