Lee and others, The image is not important enough to me for a re-shoot, and if it was, I would probably re-shoot rather than try to get sufficient contrast using all the techniques outlined here. Having said that I will give a couple of the many ideas suggested a try so I can learn more about what my materials and processes are capable of. Ultimately though I will continue to learn through experience. regards Peter On 9/22/05, Lee Carmichael <click76112@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Wouldn't the best way to deal with this problem be to shoot the scene > again and think about how the film is developed and pay particular > attention to the tonalities in the scene and how best render to them >
