Trust me...you don't have the market cornered in the ignorance of PhotoShop
techniques.  I have concluded that there are insuficient number of days left
before the Sun goes nova for me to master this program.  But the hints from
Jerry Lodriguss have been very helpful.

I also have the problem of .JPGs being dimmer than the .TIFs, so I simply
brighten them up slightly with LVIEW.

Tony Hallas was musing about posibly doing a digital image processing book
for Willman-Bell.  I really hope he does because we really need a one-source
bible for all the nuances digital astroimaging.  APML helps a lot, but we
need this in one big chunk that can sit on the edge of our desk.
