I find it interesting that the "classic" example of this evil demon Photoshop is the OJ picture on the two magazine covers one of them dramatically darkened to telling effect. What i want to know is: Where is the "darken" filter in Photoshop. I know where to find it in my darkroom especially with the lights off but I can't find it in Photoshop. Maybe it got corrupted and was zapped by the Norton. A "friend" (pro photog) of mine handed me some prints he had made of me "with his Leica M3" a few years back. They were all printed at least a stop down. But he insisted they were right on. What are you going to do? Some people see the dark side of you, others don't. Mark Rabiner
