I'm curious; as a fellow amateur photographer, how do you use Photoshop to improve the images from your digital camera? Or do you not need to? Here is a workflow of the basic image adjustments that I will often try, based on tips gleaned from sites like TrekEarth and from reading a (heavy-going) book by Martin Evening...

Hi,
Reading your workflow at re basic adjustment in Photoshop 7...
"enhance>adjust color>hue saturation"
"Enhance" isn't a PS command. Is this a confusion with Elements? I believe that 'Image > adjustments > hue saturation" would be the proper action, no?
Thanks!
That's 3 brownie points to you Steve for spotting the deliberate mistake... no, you got me. I must have opened PSE 2.0 by mistake and read the wrong menu. Photoshop does the same thing the way you suggest ;-)

Hi Bruce,
I'll cash those points, now.
Have you tried USM @ 20/60/0 on scans or digital files?
Make a layer and run it in Luminosity mode (to preserve color balance) or run it, then 'Edit > fade USM > (pick a percentage) > luminosity" on the image itself. Layering gives the option of changing the opacity to taste. Two ways to do the same thing. Does a nice job of haze cutting as an initial step.
This was a tip from a PS friend who got it on the "grapevine.'
Take care, Steve
