nice job thanks…
wow! this is helpful.
Great way to learn the “Post Processing” Process!
Thank you. You are terrific with such a beautiful voice and demeanor. I’m attempting to add captions to the 475+ photos to be used on my new web site, in conjunction with my eBook, “Confessions of a Hollywood Stunt Man (or It seemed like a good idea at the time!).”
Again, Thank You.
