Does this mean that you are now satisfied with what you get? Anyway, I had this idea (which actually originates from a feeling similar to your some time back, when I could get my pictures look like I wanted them to look): You pick one of your pictures (one that you typically had difficulties in gettng right), fresh out of the scanner - send it in a reasonable size to a number of volunteers on the list (I'll be one of them) who will do their finishing and adjustments according to their taste (no competition). The pictures will be put up somewhere for all to see and ponder upon, and you'll be able to see if any of them will be to your liking and the guys who did the job can tell you and all of us what and how they did to it. This way you, and anybody, might get some valuable hints on basic digital photofinishing. What do you think? Lasse
