Paper grade controls shadow detail. Like you I am a photoshop novice. My guess is that you would have to experiment with the levels to change the contrast of the image. I presume you can set the highlights using this. What do the photoshoppers out there think? Any advice would be a great help to both Michael and I Regards Mark Pope Swindon Wilts, UK http://www.monomagic.co.uk http://www.leica-gallery.net/mark-pope - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Gerard" <geeman1066@earthlink.net> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 7:46 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] Catching up... > Mark, > I tried shooting the other way, but not when she was picking, as I had to > then be inside the tree.
