Hi Richard,

That sounds better, as I believe green enhances contrast (and is typically
used for "enhancing" clouds)...so it would probably not be good for reducing
the visibility of skin defects...of course, Vaseline on the lense would
probably be better, or a stocking over the enlarging lense...or a host of
other standard tricks to do this.

Regards,

Austin
