I use CorelDRAW products (PhotoPaint) but it is the same as Photoshop. You have inspired me to do some adjustments when I have the time. The results are fantastic and much more a "work of art" than before.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729192065772139823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463455126326179974.post-81787474887893730472007-07-16T04:13:00.000-04:002007-07-16T04:13:00.000-04:00Thanks for explaining how you work with photoshop ...Thanks for explaining how you work with photoshop to get better pics.

Maybe it is the macro mode that I'm using with the zoom. I didn't know this. <BR/><BR/>I love the ranunculus and lantana pictures.
