Thanks, Boris. You forgot about batteries. [On my camera at least alkalines last a ridiculously short time.] That said, trial and error on digital instructs more rapidly, and may just instruct more. I'm glad I made the switch. > I don't think it would make sense to shy away from LR3 or any other RAW > processing software at this point.

And though I have a long way to go, it's working. I was shying away from raw -- till last night. I'm over that now. > The web is full of LR guides and other material that is very easy to google > out.

For the moment I'm relying on the videos at Adobe and the LR3 help pages for guidance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
