I experimented with correcting old Ek slides using layers in PS and
found that when printed on an EPSON 870, it appeared that there was a
greenish layer over the original image. When I worked on the image
directly and printed it on the same printer it looked normal, i.e. no
green haze. Was I doing something wrong in not combining the layers
before printing?
