Ryuji,
Thanks for the reply.
I posted a full rez jpeg in a earlier post if you want to look at it.
As stated, the problem is the prints are too dark. I have to really
stop the lens down and use very low times in order to get anything other
then complete black. When I do get real blacks.. say in the middle
girl's hair, the rest of the image is also near black with only the girl
on the right coming out with any detail.
If I print for her eyes then I can't get any real blacks.
That's essentially the problem in a nutshell.
I have saved everyone's responses and I am going to try them all
and give a detailed description of what worked (hopefully) and what
didn't work.
Anyhow, the goal is more to learn different techniques then it is
to get the print. But getting the print would be nice.
I understand everyone has different ways of doing things and I
really don't want to stir up any arguments.. But I will definitely try
your method and I'll let you know how it comes out.
Thanks Ryuji,
J
