Well, I have to think how much of that "too much blue" is due to the
feature of Velvia film and lack of skylight filter. Yeah, the loss of cloud
detail bothers me a little.
Let me see if I can find the original slide again and rescan……OK, here
it is. This is untouched, at 1.0 default brightness setting. Seems slightly
underexposed……by 1/3 stop? The cloud does not seem all that much better
(included the original photos below). So it means I can't do much on the
cloud. Or, does it look right to you? Do you think I tend to over-brighten?
Have been pretty busy scanning slides and editing iTunes music files in
the past week. Just sprayed straight bleach to kill mildew in my bathroom -
halfway. Didn't use respirator - now kinda hard to breathe. Cigarette doesn't
taste good to me at this moment.
