That's one of the nice aspects of PS ... the flexibility and variety that's available. Unfortunately, because the program can be so daunting to those who are new to it and unfamiliar with many darkroom techniques, it's often underutilized. Even over on the User-to-User forum, where a lot of experts hang out and help the newbies solve problems and give them advice, there's often someone who "never knew that." I believe it was Chris Cox, one of the engineers of Photoshop (his name appears on the splash screen), who recently said, in response to a technique posted by someone on the forum, "I never knew that PS could do that!" <LOL>
