In 16 bit run a curves correction for the shadows as desired, ignoring the rest of the image. Use history brush to paint this curve state into the shadows of the previous state using a medium fuzzy brush at 100%.
Dave ------------------------------------------------- From: "Anthony Atkielski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For an example of a recent scan, see http://www.atkielski.com/Wallpapers/images/EiffelInvalidesPaper1600x1200.jpg This is a scan of a Velvia 6x6 transparency, ICE set to normal, no GEM or ROC, no other adjustments, and then tweaked in Photoshop (slight adjustments to levels). There is more detail in the shadows than you see in this image, but I couldn't find a way to drag it out without blowing out the brighter parts of the image, and Photoshop won't let me do much in the way of selective masking in 16-bit mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
