I find it very very difficult to judge colour while editing, because the eye/brain adjusts to colour offsets quite easily. This is why I keep a light box next to my computer, so I can keep an eye on the original slide as a colour reference. For negs, I have a daylight-balanced tungsten bulb which I'll pop into my desk lamp: the minilab print will be useful as a starting point. Practice is improving my colour-correction skills, so by the time I start scanning my negs I might not hate them so much. - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
