I know how to do that..... but it takes time, which I don't have... But also, seeing them again now on a better lit screen, they're actually only slightly darker than where I wanted them in terms of lighting...... reflecting the actual lighting condtions at the time.... (I try to do most of my photo-processing on-camera to minimize the production of overly artificial photos.....) Cheers, -cvj thanks…. I know how to do that….. but it takes time, which I don’t have…

You can put multiple inflection points on the curve if necessary but I find that just dragging the curve in the middle just a bit upwards does the trick. Good Luck Re\: Dark Photos

Clik on image

Oh, and the cups were not pre-heated before putting in the chocolate. ;-) Wait "suffering"? I thought you guys would be happy to get a rest from me for a day or two.

I'm slightly jealous. Your "day job" wants you back...
