I would like to ask you a newbie question (i am a newbie). when you print back and white, how do you know what is the right color for the skin tone ? i experience with couple of my prints and different picture i get different tones. Some darker than other. is it correct? or I am doing something wrong? Olivier. by the way, anyone here doing color print at home? is it hard to do color printing? any place that I can look for information ? - -----Original Message----- From: lea [mailto:lea@whinydogpress.com] Sent: Monday, August 13, 2001 9:26 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Another Sin of my Youth Very nice shot. Excellent composition and tones. I'm glad you dug it up and shared.
