it wasn't my intention to come off as someone who didn't appreciate it Oh, lol, no way....you didn't =) As always, it's not reccomended that you take my words to seriously :P > was that an unsharp mask or just levels? The trick is to make a layer for every part you want to change, by erasing all the crap you don't need. First unsharpen mask (you have to try it out to see how it works) and then levels for each layer. Try to change little bits at a time, and click the preview button on and off, to see if it's getting better. Just email me if you need some more detailed help (info@bartwvanlith.com). > Ottawa Ottawa, ahhh....there must be something worth shooting in Ottawa. There's no way that Ottawa hasn't got anything interesting. Well, you already proved there is with these photos ;) Well, lemme dust off my French for a sec....uhmmm.....L'Ottawa c'est ne pas tres beau dans l'hiver avec l'neige ? Or something like that, lol =) French's fun, but been a couple of year ago, heh.
