Tony, I am intrigued by your last sentence, about balancing
the sky areas. I have some elderly images that have faded with a distinct
horizontal gradient. Since they were precious images of my first visit to
the UK, I would like to be able to take out that gradient better than I
managed last night. I'd like a little coaching on that score, especially
if something like that was your problem.

The whole place appears covertly ICM-unaware, so they have had some very
strange results from untagged images. They blame this on digital images
in
general. Attempts to have a discussion about ICM are, uh, difficult :
they know
it's something they should know about, but so as not to appear ignorant,
they
are evasive and turn it into a debate about the aesthetic superiority of
prints (which neatly subcontracts the problem). However they did look at
the
scans on a calibrated screen and said 'these look fine'. Whether they
summoned
up the courage to actually use them this time I don't know, but what
appeared
in the mag looked to be identical. I'll only be able to tell for sure
when I
get a closer look - there were a couple which I worked on quite a bit to
balance the sky areas.
