This plugin for Photoshop is worth looking at

[Peter_AUS]

and it is free as well. Not a spam message, found it recommended on a dprivew.com lighting forum posting and downloaded it to have a look at. It is quite interesting http://www.optikvervelabs.com/default.asp easy to install and seems pretty straight forward to use. Seems to work only with 8bit files though so you need to convert the file to 8bit if in 16bit format, which is no real big deal.

Just thought there might be others interested in an option for photo adjusments maybe a little easier for some of us.

Looks good, I'll d/l when I get home.

this is a great download. I've used it myself. The only issue with my computer is that the process takes a huge amount of RAM to operate and I can only use the filter BEFORE I resize the photo to 24x36 or else it won't work.

Thanks for posting this. I highly recommend it myself...especially since it's FREE! ;o)

Thanks! Here's a quick example, I'll have to play around with it a little more. I don't remember all the settings though... And the original shot for comparison.
