I took the liberty of applying a little shadow/highlight control to a couple, and here is what I got: http://www.sonc.com/nashville.htm Sonny, I'm looking at your remixes on the Dell laptop at my job. They look good, but I can't tell how they'll compare to what I see on the G5 imac at home where I did them. Tell me something that has bothered me since I first started posting stuff to the web 2 months ago: what, if anything, do I need to do to my files, in downsizing them and converting to jpegs, to keep the look of mac gamma in a windows world? Or is the problem that I'm not reading the LCD monitor properly? I find myself tilting it back and forth trying to interpret how the image should look. Since I got the G5 I find I always have to run 2-3 proof prints to get what I think I'm seeing onscreen. If anything, I overtweaked in PS, and I'm certain I could have done a better scanning job. I have a KM scan dual IV that, so far, has only seen PanF+ and Tmx100. I've never used the grain-dissolve software before, and now, going back into it, I see I bollixed that. Thanks for your help, and concern, with this. Webcluelessly yours, Arche
