Yeah, I know it's not very flattering.
It's not supposed to be.
I fell back to my tried and true, Photoshop, for this processing.
I isolated each individual channel and adjusted the levels for each the way I wanted.
Then I turned them all back on and this is the result.
In essence, I created three different black and white pictures, then combined them.
Oh, and I used a little unsharp mask, too...

In Polaroid news: I have a 450 coming, batteries on order (I gave my one good one to a friend),
tinkered with an alternate battery arrangement for the 420, received a 405 back to be used for a Pinholaroid
construct as yet untamed and I've shot a pack of film in the 420 and been unhappy with the results.

How about you?
