Pom, these two are such a cheerful-looking pair, with their big smiles and bright attire. (I especially like the orange-ish hat.)Laura E. Swan January 03, 2010

Good afternoon Ron, Michelle, Gord, Jeff, Nancyj, Stef, Monnie, Renata, Mr. Tree, Carol, Reynaldo and John!Thank you all VERY MUCH for your sweet and kind words here!
I have about 4 steps or so I take to get my images to look clear and bright and rich. I am thrilled that you guys notice because it's quite a delicate formula.
If I hadn't begun my DDR life in "curves" (playing endlessly) and then learned to lighten a dark photo up and bring it back, then to saturate to the edge before you hit over saturation and then learned to use my un-sharpening tool, then darken again in curves, you would be seeing a different photo here.
I figured half of it out on my own and then the other half has been help from many of you here and there and everywhere so really...thank you, too. #8267071
