Your software program won't know what put those clear areas in the negative. Red or black? I'm sure that Richard has the patience to explain color sensitometry to you. Actually, I think you know it, but think that there is a Magic Software out there that will save your ass. Jerry Slobodan Dimitrov wrote: > I personally won't be doing any shooting with it.
