Thanks, Christine. In the past I have tried adjusting the different qualities to see if I could figure exactly what the are. Perhaps it dooms me as a photographer, but I see little effect of most of them. The ones that have meaning for me are exposure, luminance, and color. The rest are so far Greek. Perhaps they will become meaningful in time. I hope so—that is, when it will make me a better photographer. > Another way is to watch the Julieanne Kost tutorials available for free on > Adobe’s web site.

And I’m aware that there are more out there for me when they become relevant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net "What does it mean...that the world is so beautiful?" - Mary Oliver -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
