I hadn't used the histogram tool before...*or* the unsharp mask. The difference is incredible! Thanks so much for the tips.

Some of this features are available on Gimp too. I say "some" cause I don't know if all of them are, though I presume they are. Very interesting tutorial indeed.

I am stubborn about trying to take the perfect photos instead of doctoring it up afterwards but I've been relaxing that doctriane lately. I had been playing with the color and brightness/contrast already but hadn't though to try a sharpening mask. Great tip! If you see my photos over on my blog, www.straightfromthefarm.net, looking better and better, you can take some of the credit. ;-) Thanks for all the advice!

I haven't given "levels" much of a try before instead opting out for the brightness and contrast quick fix. I will put some of your suggestions into practice soon. Thanks!
