[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Hi Philippe.
I will work on the photo and add it to my PESO site.?Thanks for?taiking your 
time to go through all those images!?You are to be congratulated for your 
persistence!!
I will try your method. I use my method also on my Canon files. I am always 
pleased to learn new approaches; it's what makes this avocation so 
wonderful... always something more to learn!
Again, many thanks.
Best,
Bob

I'm currently experimenting a different approach - used to do as you are 
now doing BTW - I find it sometimes works better when you get the 
luminosity 'punched up' a bit, and then recover some blacks with the 
black slider. I even tried decreasing contrast to keep the highlights 
within range. But I'm not using an MD-igital, so the RAW files must have 
different characteristics.
Anyway, this photo has real potential to immensely please both the young 
lady and the photographer, not to mention family and luggers.
Thanks for the input.
Bien cordialement
Philippe
