I don't autobracket. I save the same pic three times, under diferent brightness to simulate different exposures. Photomatix also senses when a pic has the same exposure and will autobracket them for you. I do that sometimes too, just save the pic under three different names, and a popup window comes up in photomatix where you can pick the exposure value steps, and it shows you how light or dark each one will be. Pretty cool I think.

Sage,
I too use Picasa for quick edits and organizing. It's pretty efficient and very easy to use. Also makes uploading photos to Google's photo sharing site a snap. I use Photoshop Elements for more detailed edits. The full blown version of Photoshop is just way more than I need or want. My favorite editor of all is called Neopaint. So easy and so much fun to use. AND no need to understand layering. It's a small program that does a whole lot with an easy learning curve. Neopaint for Windows Love all the creative photos posted so far! Here's a few of my photos with filters applied.

Sage,
I'm so happy that you DIDN'T say that you loved the centipede and millipede shots, as those two photos were taken on the INSIDE OF MY HOUSE! Yiiiiiiiiipes! ![]() I like the snail photo too because that critter was kind enough to respect my boundries on stay on the OUTSIDE of my house. BooBooBearBecky |

I have PhotoFiltre. The program is free. It creates lines as well as text. It does other things however I have not quite figured out all that it does.
The HDR would be an application that interests me very much so. The skies it can produce are phenomenal.

Here is a fairly edited image. First I HDRd it. Then I cropped it down big time. I blurred the background slightly, darkened the foliage where necessary and added shadows. The buterfly didn't look like it was on anything so I cloned the area adjacent to its legs to give it some footing. There was an unattractive dead weed I cloned out as well. The original is in the butterfly id thread for comparison ( pretty sure its the same one anyway!)

How much is the NeoPaint? They don't provide a price.
I have a program that has some special effects. Not many. One is sienna and one is cartoon. When I get some photos to play with I'll add them. This should be fun.
