If using PS then open an adjustment layer:levels. Use the white point eye dropper on something that should be white in the image; you can use the pointer to find something near 255,255,255. Then find something that should be black and do the same with the black point eyedropper. Most of the time the color gets really close at this point. This is your original: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DoryG/On-the-road/OrchidIsland_1.jpg.html and this is what happens after I did the above: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DoryG/On-the-road/OrchidIsland_1copy.jpg.html Possibly a little bit blue but pretty close to reality as seen by thirty year old print film. In actuality I would add another adjustment layer for color and tweak in a little bit of yellow back.
