I'm learning to use my epson 3200 scanner. This was a 6x4.5mm tmax

100 negative scanned at 3200 resolution (should I use 6400? I wanted

no resampling so I decided on 3200). Don't understand the grain in

the clouds, this is a crop of about 70% of the negative. I know the

photoshop masking is evident, I tried doing levels on sky, then the

rest of the photo. Put a gaussian blur on the masks to soften the

edge, but this was the best I could do. Any better techniques?

Thanks for any comments.
