OK, I'll experiment a little and see what happens. 

You know what I would really like to see? I'd love to see a real good
processor run through a few images from start to finish. The scan
through final outputted image. Nice and slow, in person. I'd like to
see the entire scanning process, then all the work done in the
processing program including layers work, USM, anti-vignetting, all
that stuff that I haven't even touched yet.

I did get a chance to see and listen to Ron Wodaski run through a brief
demo at the OSP 2 summers ago, but he mainly worked in curves. I'm no
expert, but I'm fairly comfortable with curves at this point. And his
talk only lasted about 30-40 minutes, not nearly long enough. But it
did do a lot of good for me at that point in time. 

I think one of you guys ought to volunteer to come out to OSP next year
to show us how to do it. There are now about 800 attendees each year,
it would be well attended. Hell, I'd be willing to pay extra to see
that. 2 or 3 2 hour classes on consecutive days would get me goin'.

Thanks Jerry,
Alan
