It's official, I'm totally hopeless!!! I DID have a really neat pic to show you all, but ......
When I finally persuaded my relic software to save my corel file as a gif. small enough to upload, ( I THOUGHT I did the same thing as the last time,
and it worked then..sigh) --- I must have mis-copied the file location --all I got to show for it all is what you see above. Sorry guys...
Anywaaay..... I have been trying some things on the Ranger pic. I went into the effects menu and changed the settings on the whole pic. I have a
list of 'channels' one Master and one for each color. When the master channel was set at :
Hue 0 ( no change from the original )
Sat 0
Light-21 ( darkening the overall photo somewhat )
I found a square ( about 21 pixels square) appeared in the whitest cloud --above the area we had been looking at as 417/333. As the clouds darkened,
this area remained bright --3/4 's of the square was white, with a scattering of darker pixels, and 1/4 was a pale blue-green. None of the other
clouds were affected that way.
I moved on to the Red channel, changing the values up and down and at:
Hue 0 ( again, no change from the original )
Sat 0
Light 34 ( this lightened the red part of the photo )
some areas in the hillside began to lighten in what looked like some numbers and letters. It looks like "35" or "33" and "the" there is
some other partial letter shapes, but nothing I could 'read'. Sorry I can't get my file to post......
If anyone knows how to delete an upload, or how I can straighten out the file name, I'll try again, or I could try e-mailing the photo to some one
tomorrow.... 'nite.
