My preferred plug ins are from www.thepluginsite.com Focalblade does an incredible job when it comes to sharpening, blurring, deblurring, soft-focus etc. To do the same in Photoshop (using edge masks that can be changed whilst working etc) would require much more time. Colorwasher is superb for enhancing colors, adding contrast etc. Both come with a very good manual, are very easy to use (most of the time the algorithms do a better job in manual mode that an experienced user can obtain in much more time. Only real seasoned pro's can do better. What I like about them is that all tools are on one (two for the two plugins) interface. Thanks for the info on Luce. I'll certainly try it out.

I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now I'll be mad. (Rumi)
