I posted the photos exactly the way they came back from the processor thinking they were grey scale images. They are a bit warm now that you call my attention to it.. Desaturated in PS, they turn into perfectly neutral photos. The difference was startling. Can't imagine how I missed that. I'll have to remember to desaturate the 400CN scans in the future unless the warm tone makes sense photographically. Thanks for the comments. I'll look into them more tonight when I get home from work. Dick >Hi Richard, >I like the horizonthal shot most.
