What should I do? >> Martin, I would suggest finding an exposure and contrast grade that works for the shadows and faces if possible, and then giving the entire print more exposure through your lowest contrast filter until the benches look ok. Another variation of split filter printing that I find works well. Hope this helps. Richard Wasserman
