The face tones of Mako's adjustments look right on my monitor, but the sunset has lost character. I spent quite a bit of time calibrating my primary monitor by eye using the ColorSync tool.

Re: Bill gets Married
Here are both versions together ... the to original one is too dark for a wedding photo imo ... omm (on my monitor

Sure, we all have.Mako Koiwai wrote:OK ... I HAVE seen more dramatic sunsets.
