Hey Norm,
All very valid points......but I tend to do everything in camera. Why? Many contests and such do not allow such manipulation......but for my personal satisfaction, I try to prove that I can do it in camera

! I think those programa are effective and can do great things.......so
by no means am I against them.......like I said, I want it right in camera.......so I spend less time behind the computer......which I don't enjoy as much!
BTW, I did do an image with the twin lights.......it would not give me the rim lighting I was after and I didn't like it as much! I did use it for an Iris......with flashlights......so I was just showing the possibilities if you don't have flash..... but have time and a great subject!
