Clarity is new in Lightroom v1.1, the upgrade module in the Luminous Landscape tutorial set covers it. It acts as selective area contrast adjustment, with results that are similar to using Unsharp Mask with a very large pixel count and a very small percentage value. Best thing to do is to experiment and see how it is useful to you... Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
