328405 2005-02-27 08:37:00 I use and am satisfied with PS Elements . I use Irfanview mainly as a thumbnail viewer only . Looks like I'll have to check out Picasa though .

I know what you mean about dodgy conditions often working against you without having much control of them Billy .

I take lots of shots of buildings (inside and out, in roof spaces and subfloors) and construction sites . There is often no chance to wait for the right conditions or to set them up artificially . Most photo's are taken in a logical order with your work and accompaning field notes .

Information is the only reason the photo's are taken, there is no artistic content, photography is a tool along with a pen/pencil and paper, dictaphone, test equipment and whatever other tools are required to get the job done .


In PS Elements is there something like curves, levels, highlight/shadows?

Yes, in PSE 2 . 0 under the Enhance menu, in Quick Fix there are a number of slider adjustments you can make, with the usual preview before changes are made .

For more options, detail and control, head down the menu a little .

That's it in a nutshell Murray . You won't be disappointed by Picasa2 though, it can retrieve usable images from gross under exposure .
