Thanks for the advice everyone.

Jan (Sheiky)...thanks for the offer. I may still be taking you up on it.

So far I have only downloaded a trial version of LR3. It does seem intuitive. So far it seems to be very good. I wish the slide bars were less sensitive as they make it difficult to fine tune and, honestly, there are almost too many adjustments in the "Devolop" menu. But as I get used to them I am sure it won't seem so bad.

I'll be downloading a trial version of DxO soon.

Thanks again,
Brant
