Maris explanation applies quite well to my case. Indeed, it is amazingly simple to get good results tweaking the opacity slide in the filter layer (in mode color, as Robert Wright pointed) -- very easy corrections with aditional levels and saturation (sometimes) layers gave good results with all

Thanks for the info on your approach to correcting fluorescent lighting. If you were not interested in having a filter set wouldn't just clicking with the clear eyedropper in levels at the same (near white) location do a basic adjustment? Art Mário Teixeira wrote: Thanks Art and all the
