Indeed, but even back on "the old days", processing was taking place in the darkroom. I've got nothing against processed pictures as it takes the whole photography thing from something other than a snapshot of a split second into an art form of its own. Great for those who are photographers or lovers of dramatic pictures, but a little (I hate to say misleading, but that's the only word I can think of right now so...) misleading to those who are attracted to places shown in photo's. Granted these photo's are usually designed to attract people to places (advertisements an' all that) but there are some out there, me included, who never realised the extent to which some photo's have been tweaked. I'd never heard of HDR for a start. I've *seen* pictures that I now know have been "HDR-ed" but I thought that the photographer had spent time lighting a scene and then clicking the button, not clicking the button then generating something later on the computer. Still very interesting mind. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
