The White Satin, with a curves adjustment in PS

Nice job! I like this version better.

Thanks! In the future, I'll try this technique with other photos I'm working on.

Nice picture, but: Might I politely ask - how is this 100% analog?

@Brendan Quirk I asked the same thing the first time I posted an image scanned from film and labeled it as Hybrid. But Eric Rose insisted it was analog; the fact that I scanned it to share it didn't matter, as far as the site labeling goes, anyway. So I've kept up the habit since that first post. I think it's more properly labeled Hybrid, but who am I to quibble?

But now that you are making adjustments - isn't that hybrid? Or maybe, only if you add or subtract elements?

@Brendan Quirk

This is less than helpful. Please don't start a nick-picking war about definitions.

A flat scan is useless. You don't keep the same contrast ratio when you print from your negative to a wet print; the negative has a gamma of about .65 to .90 and the print can vary anywhere from 1.80 to 2.60 or so gamma, so doing a simple correction of contrast is NOT a hybrid, but "printing" so to speak.

@Kino Thanks for smoothing things out, Kino. I've noticed that several posters on the site don't always follow the letter of the site guidelines when they describe their work. So, in one sense, I suppose a strict definition would be too slippery to please everyone, but then too, the site administrators would probably appreciate some way of making sense of the images that come in daily along with keeping track of members, galleries, and so on (an unenviable job, even if it's obviated by the pleasure of seeing so much good work). Maybe a more accurate categorization would help viewers make assumptions about production details (which sounds like a reach), although I think I'd rather just enjoy a photograph and press the poster for production details if I can't figure it out by looking at it.

Ken, it just such a slippery slope that can degenerate into squabbles over opinion, when we should just be enjoying each other's work. I have my opinions on what is and isn't hybrid, but unless it's plainly something that cannot be purely analog, I feel it's best to leave it alone and give the photographer the benefit of doubt that it is a good representation an analog work.
