[Leica] RED and some vermilion

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Hi Jim, OK. That Ektra must be amazing stuff. I just meant to say that we 
often see posts with a mention of Photoshop that can sound
apologetic. I was trying to say that it is a legitimate part of the image 
making process. Once again, stunning shots.
Cheers
Hoppy

Hi Hoppy:

I hadn't meant to appear defensive... I mentioned the unsaturation in 
Photoshop because the frames out of the scanner were super-saturated, 
they make Velvia look like grayscale.

These shown are still a bit too saturated to my eye, but they begin to 
get solarized when I try to further unsaturate them. I wanted folks to 
know that I had already tried to make them less vivid.

I don't remember if fresh Ektra 15+ years back was this vivid, or if 
it's something to do with age.

Jim, "less vivid everyday" Hemenway
