thank you nicole!! Is this a sticky? If not it should be. I looked through the post-processing forum the other day but missed this one and just last night I was searching for books to buy for post processing..

[Nicole]

This is a sticky... maybe that's why you missed it There are definitely enough tutorials in this thread to keep you busy for at least a little while with fun new ways to process photos
