I think you understand what I was trying to do, and you're probably on to something here. It does look a bit crude, though, and there's perhaps something slightly "wrong" with the highlights. But I suppose it's what you can expect when starting off with a scaled-down jpg file.
Maybe I should try to do a more proper "curves" adjustment to the high-res TIFFs from the scanner (one of which is available as images/samson2.tif on the same web server, by the way)... - Toralf -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
