Mmm. You mean the burn tool? Or is it some other tool? I have PS 7.0
(made work buy it for me, and of course my backup copy is on my home
laptop :^). The parts that are fully saturated contain no variation in
data, unfortunately, so burn doesn't work _that_ well on monochromatic
saturated areas, for instance. It _does_ work well if there are
different levels and colors that came out too bright in the original
image. What I am talking about is like on the swan's back in the link
to the bird photos that Deko posted in the max-zoom thread. I think
this has to be compensated for at the front end (taking the picture).
When the white is super saturated it has like a blue tint too it (hmm,
like maybe the blue cells are dominating the pixel, or is it the
reverse?).

Thanks for the suggestion just the same. Maybe I shouldn't assume too
much. (goes to download the swan picture to see what can be done with
it)
