[Leica] Winchester in Infrared

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Hi Jim,

That's very interesting. I don't apply curves. I just lower the  
saturation to zero in the raw converter.

That milk bottle looks very familiar. I think you posted that one to  
the LUG. I like it. It's a neat shot.

Now I'm going to play with curves on a couple of my IR raw files. The  
color you get is really different.
