Been sifting through my Exmoor Zoo set & thought these were worth sharing - it was my first outing with the D200 so I'm sure I will improve ... Paul ;)

I love No2 Paul but it's looking way too light. Just bring the gamma down and you'll see a huge improvement. :)

Hi geordieboy \O/ - I was using a Nikon 18-200mm VRII
Hi CT \O/ - No idea what you're talking about but if I can find a way to "bring the gamma down" in PSP I'll try it!
Hi RobertP \O/ - Thanks that'll be the D200 (i.e. not me!)
Cheers everyone ... Paul :thumbs:

CT - I had a look in PSP for "Gamma" & the help took me to "Brightness & Contrast Levels" - So how do you think the adjusted version looks? Crackalackin' I'd say - Much obliged! :clap:

Top job! PSP 7 has a simple gamma slider which is handy. I can't remember now if they dropped it in the PSP X version or if it's hidden away in the histogram functions. :thinking:
