I'm pretty sure I shot it with B&W film, too, which I'm scanning now. If so, it should have a greater depth of field than the color. As far as pinkie? I don't see that on my two calibrated monitors. The original Kodachrome scan was kind of green but I balanced it based on the white net and everything looked fine. Maybe I'll just go back to B&W for people ;-) Tina On Fri, Sep 26, 2014 at 6:39 PM, Ted Grant <tedgrant at shaw.ca> wrote: > Tina OFFERED: > Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: Mending Nets > > > I'm scanning B&W's of Italy today but here is one I scanned yesterday: > > http://www.pbase.com/image/157577133<< > > Hi Tina, > OK a couple of things? ;-) ;-) > > 1/ The overall colour "pinkie red look?"
