"what is the "best" firefly setting for final production, no, not sliding the tabs all the way to the right?" As Jules said: "The "best" settings are the ones YOU like most means you find the results OK". Use the MANUAL settings to get what you want. When you find a good one, save it via "Save Preset". You can save several, for different circumstances, then reload them via, (ahem) "Load Preset"...:-) Cheers, Diolma
