Peter Martin
ps – who needs photoshop – start simple – get lightroom (make sure its at least version 2.3) and you’ll wonder why anyone uses anything else as a raw processor – and it’s not that expensive, considering what it does, out-of-the-box, as it were, with no need for any heroics on your part!
Sharon Johnstone replied
That’s great Peter, thank you so much, I’ll definately look into that!
