RE: "Dick Stevens' book."
These are the thing one does sometimes without the aide of an editor; make mistakes. I did find my copy. I thought that came through in the earlier post. You can however, infer that for those of us that know the platinum story, we knew when to duck so the branch wouldn't hit us. And that we also know when to skim to what we need rather than go deep into the forest to get lost in a thicket of explanations. You can also infer that Dick is not a particularly good story teller, and that lack of ability does hinder some readers to flow into and become part of, a new or unfamiliar activity. When will I read it again? Perhaps after I get done playing with Lightroom and beating Adobe up for not allowing NON maximized PSD files to be imported or that there is no way to export a text file of those files that don't get imported for any number of reasons. I also have a boat load of images just waiting to be processed. I am sorry but you're just going to need to wait on that 1/2 mil. : ) I need no new wheels, as these are rolling along just fine.
