[Leica] IMG: Another Monochrome Lighthouse

[Bernard Quinn]

Tina,

This is tough because all I have to view it on is my iPhone. I think that if the blacks get blacker you are going to loose the shadow detail. Still a bit grey perhaps. Can you get some more white in the lighthouse and the water.

Anyone in lime with a real monitor who can really see what is going on?
