This was a scan from the Pentax 645 transparency. I am showing this, as I will be going back with the SD-14, so that I can use the software to process the X3F Raw file.
I wanted to bring out the shadows more on this jpeg scanned image, and found that my copy of Photoshop Elements has a "Fill Flash" feature that works quite nicely.
The original was basically near total black in the shadows, but the Fill Flash lightened those areas and brought out the ferns in the background shadows. I had to go very easy on the Fill Flash, as too much of it results in poor contrast.
The foreground is not rendered in black and white. The rocks are "new" deposits and thus are all gray in tone.
Scanned at 2400 dpi and 200 lpi with the Epson V700, resulting in a large file (about 85 megabytes). Downsized in "Save for Web".
Can't wait to get back there with the Sigma!
