Hi Greg,

That was just what was missing in my setup. It was a very instructive thread for me and I am grateful for the attention my problem got. Thank you very much!

Thank you Greg. <br /><br />Yes, I now remember more about the saving and loading of curves in CM and I think I am in business now.<br /><br />One thing while you are at it: in your video, when you set shadow and highlight points, you have a hue clock with e.g. a R value of 239 and to the right I se...

Greg:<br />This is really very enlightening, your video. I'll come back when I have tried it a few times on different images. Do you think there could be a library file (.acv) made that does the job for a set of color negatives made under the same conditions?<br /><br />I am ashamed to say that...

Ganna: Yes I did the class several years ago. Also I studied the book Photoshop LAB Color by Dan Margulis, but I don't remember seeing anything in it that would be helpful.<br /><br /> I did try to reverse the L-channel line, but the result is disapointing: the image is totally off color. In a ...

Hello Ganna,

Great!
That is exactly as I remember the colors! How did you do it? Please let me in on your secret? Is it difficult? For one I can't find how to invert colors in CM, I had to do it in Photoshop. Lightroom also doesn't have the invert colors function.

I'll look at the link you gave tomorrow.
Is it useful to send you the original 48bit Tiff, e.g. as a "WeTransfer" file? That is the kind I want to process.

Hello All,<br /><br />In the past I have scanned several thousand color negatives to 48 bits TIFF images treating them as positives. I used a Minolta Dimage Scan Elite 5400 machine. The reason I didn't use the Minolta software option to scan them as negatives, thus obtaining positive images is ...

Hello Greg, Mike and Lee,<br /><br />Thank you all for your thoughts and advice on this rather tiny problem. I think I leave it now as it is: since yesterday I have corrected the older monitor slightly and now they are very much alike. No one will see any difference unless you study the colors very ...

Hello Greg,<br /><br />I was afraid that it would be difficult to get the monitors to display exactly the same colors under general conditions. No, my video card doesn't have separate controls for the ports. I can do it in the OSD of the monitors, but that will be difficult also.<br /><br />I c...

Hello everyone,<br /><br />Six months ago I bought a Dell U2412M monitor that produced pleasing colors. Recently I bought a second one and I operate both now in dual monitor mode. <br />To my amazement the two monitors show different colors for the same image. The desktop background color I set to R...
