A really usefull tool I've picked up is Kodak DigitalSHO, it brightens and ups the contrast / colour of dark areas in the image, so you can do an exposure for the sky, and still get shadow detail. It lets you fake a high dynamic range. I had a rare tech victory with a freeware tool that reverse engineers the Nikon coolpix diagnostic tools so I was able to map out the 20 or so pixels stuck on full that were killing my night shots - major happyness. Cheers Matt Hey Jen,

Yes- Neat Image is impressive. If you want me to try it on one of your images, let me know. Then you can see for yourself. :) If you're going to do a poster enlargement, I used to frequently use Genuine Fractals Pro by Lizard Soft. Excellent stuff. I still have the plug-in and could do an enlargement for you if you like... I think they have a demo of the plug-in, but to do big stuff in CMYK you need the pro version. It's pretty amazing stuff too. smooches~ jEN Hi Kev!

The next thing I want to do with some of my images is to get some poster size printouts. There are a few places on the web offering the service but I have also spotted a place up the road from me that is doing large format printing so I might try and find out their pricing. Kev Hi jEN,
