You say 'processing' but its digital right? remember I'm very new to all this no film stuff.

dang man, you got SKILLS!!! great pic. super

thanks guys!!
elbert,,i run my photos thru-- nikon capture NX-- as opposed to photoshop.
photoshop is just toooo much for me to handle. capture does all i want and more,, much easier for me to learn.

I'm downloading the disk right now.

Hummm I like it and its a way to open the tiff and Raw but I've got more than a hundred hours in Photo Shop already and think I'll stick with it.
Photo Shop clicked for me because i have a background in Lithographic Photography as a 4 color separator (Y,M,C,and K stuff) and the terms where familiar.
Isn't this fun.
Do you have an electronic gallery of you nature photography somewhere?
