Doug..I just looked at your beautifully toned images.. nice work. almost
sepia toned. I wondered if they were color balanced in Photoshop using a
color balance??...Scala is a "color process" film I believe ...and maybe
that's why they have this appearance...vs a grey scale balance that would
render them more typically B&W in appearance....?
