My only reliable color in the image was the brown leaf. As I worked through Lightroom Developer, I could easily portray the ant as dark red or black, depending on how I adjusted the slider. I used the leaf as a guide, and, doing so, the ants look black, which is what my eye tells me. But, in truth, they could also be very dark red. That's how I see it. :-) Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA On 1/16/2017 12:38 PM, Steve Barbour wrote: >> On Jan 16, 2017, at 10:11 AM, Jim Nichols <jhnichols at lighttube.net> >> wrotExamining the feedback from my ant posting, I decided I needed better >> ant photos, but did not want to get too up close and personal with >> them.
