Godfrey. Please don't ask those questions. You know I have a "thing" about PS. It might be irrational. In fact I believe it is. I think have got the wrong impression about it.
The facts are simple. I gets lost in PS. It confuses and thereby disables me. I believe it is about layers. It may be about layers in general, or about layers in PS. But that's not important. My explanation about my thing may be wrong. It may also be based on misunderstandings. But the real facts remain. I feel stupid instead of enabled when using PS. I think I want know what the problem is before I have solved it. I know you mean well by asking. If you where in front of me, you could have showed me where I have got it wrong. But asked on the net, your question simply makes me feel stupider. And that does not help me. It makes me more disabled. I know that's not your intentions, but thats how it works. You know I like Lightroom. It enables me. The real reason is because it is powerful, and simple. It doesn't confuse me. So now I'm able to do a decent job when converting raw. So now conversion is fun ;-) I had the same feeling with RSP. It enabled me. But Lightroom enables me more. I hope I will experience the same with Lightzone. Basically I understands the good old zone system. Layers or not, with Lightzone I will be able to do the adjustments to that rock in a way that I do understand. Now I need to get moving towards my goal; being a happy and skilful editor. Not debating my "thing". I might move back again later. I don't know. At this point I don't care ;-) Tim Typo Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Godfrey DiGiorgi Sent: 11. april 2007 06:23 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: PESO: Memories of spring On Apr 10, 2007, at 7:11 PM, Tim Øsleby wrote: > These tutorials made me realise why I have this strong feelings > against > editing in PS.

BTW, LightZone's operation is based on making adjustments using function modules and layering them on top of one another... It's just like using Adjustment Layers in Photoshop.
