Re: [APML] New shots: M35 (SHQ200) and M37 (Provia 400F)

Alan, I think your approach is right. The only thing that might add to this
is that the histograms in Red and Green are clipped which is making the
background kind of flat (looks jet black on my screen). Also the stars
generally exhibit no colour so the picture at first glance appears to be in
B&W. Not sure that helps you out though.
