Wow, Moose, now I am impressed. No, I did not realize that is what you did.
But I was wondering how you recovered the detail of the second rainbow. When
I took the photos of the rainbow that includes the church, the secondary
rainbow had somewhat faded, although it was still there. It does show
somewhat in the slides.

I think I will trust your monitor, before mine. Whatever is done with the
brightness, Walmart's (or whoever) auto-printer-machine will do what they
want with it anyways.

The other photos are on their way to the site this morning, hopefully
without my server balking too much as it normally does. Maybe they might get
there by the time morning arrives in California :-).
Again, thanks so much. I am hoping to get these printed and will be giving
copies to all our folks at the church. Many of them are seniors, and I'm
sure they would appreciate a photo of their building like this.
