Joining this discussion late, but... Back when, I posted a few shots to the PUG. What stopped me from doing more is how bad my photos looked, to me, on the PUG compared to the way they looked in their full glory on my screen before downsizing. The recent discussion has reminded me of the PUG and I will try again a few times. But before I can feel good about it, I'll need to get a lot more facile with the editing/reduction process.
