The black bike came out black but her skin was that nasty gray and her features were a bit soft while her clothes, etc were sharp. I used f11, Tmax100 and 210 G claron lens on 4x5. i just cant make it work it seems. I may try and convert it over again, even rescan. I could post, but it's embarrassing, but will if asked in order to diagnose which dozen rules I messed up.
Looking for how everyone sets up their shot to get grain free images that aren't muddy gray.
