(Conversely, apply a Midtones correction of 0.45 to GIMP's L channel and compare results). Found a faster way to demonstrate it: Create a new image with a black-to-white linear gradient running from left to right across the image (i.e. even distribution of grey tones). Decomposing the image into LAB space does not yield an even distribution of values across the L channel, but something that more closely resembles a Midtones adjustment in the 2.2 to 2.5 range. -- Stratadrake strata_ranger hotmail com -------------------- |
