I can respect that POV, I haven't actually tried Lightroom as I run Linux, but it sounds good. Have you tried Picassa? it is quite good for quick and dirty web pages and simple edits. It is also very good for organizing your albums etc. (and non-destructive as Lightroom is) Cheers, Andy. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
