Or how you'd set them up for a high end inkjet process. It's all part of a/the process. A slide can be an end. But if you are into print making it is only the beginning. IT's only natural to think of this process at it's various stages. Photoshop gives one more options than a Fuji Direct positive print. Nothing wrong with that. To NOT have these possibilities in ones head as one views ones slides would be short sighted. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
