Just a point about film names. Provia is made in two versions. The standard version is rather grainy (in fact it is only made in the 400 ISO version now, if I'm not mistaken, having been superseded by Astia in the 100 ISO version, and is the same film as Fujichrome 400 Sensia II.) The fine gr

Try making 2 scans - one optimized for the highlights and one for the dark area, and then layer them. Maris On Sat, 05 Jan 2002 00:01:17 -0800 "Ken Durling" wrote: > HI folks - > > I'm still working away here, improving my understanding and > techniques. Since the addition of histograms to Vue

Hi Ken, this won´t help you here, but in general if you shot slide to scan it then, you might try out Provia in the future, while being at least as fine grained as Velvia, it is less hard in its contrast and thus keeps more shadow detail. I have seen a Web site (dont have the URL right now, but it
