Mark, I'm sorry ... I have not fully understood your message, anyway I'll
examine the curves and try to see what you suggest. Thanks for looking and
for your comments

Saludos cordiales

I would drag those curves up a bit by the shoulder where the highlights
usually are (some have it set up the other way).
Like a ducky picking up a Chickie by the back of the neck.

Then drag down the toe on the left a slight tad to regain your dark tones
and you've made your mid section more vertical which means you've improved
your Gamma. Your mid tones will separate. De-mud-ified.

Nothing that a stiff dose of Gamma globulin's wouldn't fix.
