I think it works like this: If it looks good on a light table it's too light. Overexposed. Stick it into a projector. There you see it's two light and an other one you've bracketed a half stop under is right on the money. This darker slide which projects the best will also be the one which prints the best. But for those of us who bracket the hell out of everything one of the many advantages to that is you've got one lighter image for your page of slides you'd put on a light table or hold up and look at. It looks perfect. And the main slide which is for printing and projection. Hopefully though one for projection and one for printing. Both the same density. A good reason to have a Rapidwinder or winder. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
