As for detail, the web prints are calibrated to a relatively light (~ 2.0 gamma) setting. This way I can irritate both Mac and PC users. The bigger version shows more detail: http://www.webcom.com/alexey/images/giledsk10.jpg ...but even so, the scanner (SS4000) did not pull all shadow info out of this somewhat dense transparency. Lighter exposures on the same roll had the sky blown out; maybe I should buy a gradient ND filter. Anyway, the posted versions of the photo provide a pretty accurate reproduction of what we actually saw that evening. > It is wonderful that so many are starting to post as > this is the "users group" YES!
