With all due respect to whomever, I can?t imagine preferring the garishly blue raw image. OTOH, I think the color correction overshot a bit. On my screen, the castle walls have a slightly lavender tinge, and the overcast, which should be virtually greyscale at midday, has the color of applesauce. As an aside, I?m glad to know you scan with the LS-5000 and Vuescan. That?s the setup I used to scan my 6000+ KCs and ECs. And learned the true digital magic of Photoshop in the process. ?howard > On Nov 13, 2019, at 8:44 AM, Tina Manley via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> > wrote: > > Here is a straight scan of Kodachrome using the Nikon LS5000.
