Hi Jim:
As photographer I sincerely did not notice the
blue excess and this excess became a controversial
issue here and there are very qualified opinions
preferring my originals, anyway I appreciate Slobodan
corrections and your opinion, Slobodan explained some
practical point of views that I'm considering for my
photographs in general.-
All the best
Carlos
