Hi Yakim,

Wim, I think of trying PS again, precisely because of these plug-ins, but first I need to switch back to Windows. When I do, I'll take a look at the Topaz plug-in as well. Thank you for mentioning it.

I found PS a pain to master, but with the aid of the internet it gets better every time. Tools like the plugins from Topaz Labs and Nik Software do help a lot with making the use for photography a much less steep learning curve, however, so certainly something to look at.
As with all of these tools, you will still need to get the basics of the Raw processing under your belt, what to do when going from Raw to 16-bit files to work with, etc. There are some websites with good explanantions what to do and what not. If you're interested, just give me a holler, and I'll look up some of the links that I found useful myself <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Kind regards, Wim
