It looks like you adjusted the white highlights based on measurements of the reflecting surfaces in the picture which is something you should avoid.
Thanks for the tips. I am actually doing the scanning and retouching in Linux Mint. I use the SANE driver on an Epson Perfection 1660 Photo scanner (which is great BTW) and then do the color/retouching work in good ol Photoshop 6 running under WINE.

While I do think you are right, I have already gotten so far along this set that I'll probably have to incorporate your suggestion in my next set.

On that note, where is the right place to ask for suggestions on my next set to scan? I have a lot of Bob G's mags from 74 - 95. If I don't have it, I will scan it if someone sends it to me.
