Thanks, Paul. I guess experience -- especially if it includes experimenting -- will teach me. As mentioned in a previous response, I did "fiddle with the knobs" with one especially awful image. [I figured I couldn't make it worse.] It's an unsalvageable image, but I was able to improve it in some ways. Good that I can always go back to the default. Which raises another question: When I make changes to an image in LR, do I need to save them, or are the saved automatically? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
