Re: filmscanners: Re: autolevels was re: filmscanners: Vuescan blue anomaly



It's a judgment call on your part and depends on the image.  Using a
reflection or glare may limit the contrast in the rest of the image more
than you want, more than if you set the white point elsewhere than on the
highlight.  Other times the actual color of the highlight may be other than
white, and the color balance in the rest of the image may be changed by
using the reflection for a highlight.

Or it may work out fine.  Dan Margulis is the one who said not to use it,
but his book doesn't go into too much detail as to why.

| OK, let me rephrase the question slightly - isn't the intention of the
black
