[Leica] Perils of Film

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

Bob, 

My only thought was to try Photokit Color II's RSA gray balancer, and....it
did nothing.  Sounds like you'll just have to go back to Yosemite...what a
PITA :).  Seriously, given the composition and the clean break between the
grasses, and the dark tones of the trees, I'll bet you could you use a mask
or even history brush and get what you want.  Excellent image, btw.

Ken
