RE: Ultrafine Clear Film

Don,

Thanks for providing the details. But, there are two steps you left out. You
need to apply a contrast adjustment curve before converting the image to
indexed color. Then, when you do the color table, there are 2 sets of
numbers to enter. The first is 0,0,0,0 then the second set are the numbers
you gave. I thought Keith was using Pictorico OHP, but I may be wrong.

And yes, although these negs appear brownish on the screen, they print out a
very Pyro-like green.
