I agree. It's amazing how much you progress, quietly, without really noticing. As a christmas present this year for our mothers we bought electronic picture frames, so I had to go through and pick out a couple of hundred images they might like. One thing I did was to start off with the images I had used in 2000 for a print calendar we sent them that year. It was fascinating to see just how much better I had become at digital image processing - the new versions I created this year were so much better than the 2000 ones! It was also salutary to look back at some of my earler images, and see what I could have done differently (or, at any rate, better). One of the calendar images was a typical pacific "surf breaking on a rock" shot. Even after the new colour balance, processing, etc. it didn't look too good set alongside a snapshot from a recent trip. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
