Thanks for that insight Mark. I was close to on the verge of understanding that. And of course in PS, that's one of the things that bites me frequently. Not damaging my original, but creating a sized version that I have trouble recreating later, sized differently.
I feel a certain degree of ambivalence regarding workflow, because to me it seems, at least with my images, that the same adjustments, a.k.a workflow, should NOT be applied to each image, because each is unique and therefore will likely require unique post-capture processing to reach its potential, Sure if a series of shots are of a very closely related subject, but what about the next where I turn 180 degrees and all the elements and lighting change? I think I'll pay heed to Godfrey and persevere a bit longer... and maybe both tools have their place. Thanks again for that, because that's quite valuable to understand.
