I could print this pretty much straight up. The exposure's not that bad and it's a nice scene. Your highlights and mids look fine. The "problem" shadow areas are a black dress in shadow and the inside of a fireplace in shadow. I don't think there's much in those areas to get no matter what you do. For me, the hardest part is the face of the woman on the left. Pre-flashing might help get more detail there, but it might have an unwanted affect on your highlights. i might dodge that area a "little". Not much more than about 20% of the overall exposure time or it will get even muddier than it already is. That alone might be enough depending on how fussy you want to be. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Justin F.
