I appreciate the thoroughness of your review of color correction
software out there. At least now we know how your work
compares with others on the market.

I subscribe to a free Photoshop newsletter that I read regularly.
I think you might enjoy it too. Archival copies can be accessed.

Tim Grey and the Lepp Institute are setting some high standards for the photo/print/computer/electronic image manipulation followers.

I hope graphicsgalaxy.com and Harald Heim can continue to provide affordable products that actually produce what they claim. So far, I am putting $$ in his pocket because I like what I see. I look forward to them becoming even more user-friendly, fast and improving my final photo products!

As a newcomer to Photoshop and Print Shop Pro, the learning curve is very steep. As with most new photographers, I am more interested in creating an effect than learning all the steps needed to produce it. If I were in the latter category, I would have majored in computer software and and be writing my own.

Instead, I'd rather create the effects in my images and get back out there earning some $$ with my camera.

One bit of advice I received: "You can be a photographer and business man and make $$, or you can work in the darkroom (including digital darkroom) and play with images over and over."

The question involves creativity with photography as well as making $$ by building a business. There must be a balance. Sorry for preaching.

Thanks for the tip about Tim Grey and the Lepp web site. Looks interesting.
