Often times one color in the photo can dominate and create that color's cast throughout the photo. I include a note every time that I send my color negatives to be processed and haven't had a problem since. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Gardner" <mlgardner99@earthlink.net> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Monday, August 13, 2001 1:48 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] Reala in a Leica M6 > A likely culprit with print film is your photofinisher.
