Here is a good example. scanned neg i made very underexposed. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1022/1424126315_f997f3b527_b.jpg corrected positive in pshop http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1044/1425008476_a3a61f163a_o.jpg This shows to go ya that a neg that will barely print in the darkroom if at all, can be "saved: in pshop. Now I gotta go check on my albumen that is exposing.
