Quite possible that that is how they implement the layering, by embedding the light-absorbing dye into the photosite chemistry, but there's still absorption between the layers which causes less total light energy to strike the third layer than the first. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
