>Hi Ken,

>detail.
>I have seen a Web site (dont have the URL right now, but it should be

>identical shot - on emade with Velvia, one with Provia. It was evident that
>at first sight the Velvia had more intense colors (looking more interesting)
>than the provia which seemed more tamed and less contrasty. But the authoir
>showd very well that in the dark shadows the Velvia just lost where the
>Provia still showed detail.
>The conclusion therer was that if you shoot for further digital editing, the
>Provia is clearly the winner.

>For your current shot, if its really important, try to find someone with a

>It's a very high contrast sunset shot taken on Velvia, with one side

>one might say "blown out" - area of sunlight. Along the bottom of the
>photo is a lot of city detail, seen from above - I was shooting from
>up in the hills overlooking SF Bay. It was taken with a sharp lens,
>so the detail is there, and I'd like to retrieve it.

>My main problem has been trying to bring out all the detail in the

>Secondarily, the finding a contrast range that doesn't blow out the

>But what I'd like help with is how to utilize the Vuescan histograms
