[Leica] Tuesday Trees

[Don Dory]

Lluis, I find the new masking tools in Lightroom and some of the plug-ins
invaluable to manipulating an images tonality.

Back in the day I might have spent most of a day working out a split
filtration print with complicated dodge burn gyrations.  Now, the tools
allow picking a specific tonality and or region and adjusting that specific
bit.

With a calibrated system WYSWYG.  I can look at an image for a while on
screen and think about what I like or don't like.

I am fortunate that Holland Photo which is a short walk away has great
print skills and their printers synch well with my files.  I gave up
keeping a printer going as I can buy a lot of prints for what one ink cart
costs.

Thank you for your kind comments.  I truly respect your comments.
