Well done! I have Paint Shop Pro (I won it in a contest). How does it fair compared to Photoshop? I have been using Maxim for calibration and Photoshop for processing my images. I'm always game to try something new. Fred Cygnus Hill Observatory

Excellent image Blair, has almost eerie quality to it. How much post color correction was necessary? John
