Whoops!  I take that back.  I had forgotten to change one setting.
Ok, once I re-checked again and printed it came out much better.
Still a slight bit of magenta in some tonal areas under tungsten light
(it's late now, I'll look at in sunlight tomorrow just to get an idea)
but is perhaps the best so far next to what I get from Lepp's EEM
profile.  The Luminous Landscape Photo-Realistic method gives me quite
a noticeable magenta cast.


Best regards,
 Richard
