no secret other then I got lucky...up until now(only a couple of weeks at that) I have just been using the Feeling Lucky button in picasa but figured I need to jump in feet first and see if I can figure out how to do more on my own...I have D/L'd the 30 day trials of Photoshop CS3, Lightroom and Elements 6.0...I used Elements for these and so far I have been to intimidated by CS3 but I am going to try and do my next set with it and LR.

now if i can just get some crystal clear shots that aren't OOF (most of what I am trying is Macro(more posted in the macro forum) and it can be frustrating)
