Hi Dave, Thank you very much for the appreciation! A lot of the merit wrt the exposure goes to the film... My scan is more contrasty than the original print (which was defective, though: the lab had a problem with the digital printing so that the RGB channels were slightly separated on the print; I had to separate the channels, shift the red and green ones a bit and then merge them again). The AGFA printer of the lab applies a digital mask that opens up the shadows while burning the lights a little. Sometimes it works, and the results are wonderful; other times it does a bad job (luckily this is not the case...) Ciao, Gianfranco PS: the car is fine, now, but, when it begins acting like that (second time in a year), it is maybe time to think about purchasing a new one... - ===== “To read is to travel without all the hassles of luggage.” ---Emilio Salgari (1863-1911) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
