You could also set up a macro fixing it in a separate layer. So when you open each file up it would be virtually fixed but you might have to tweak that layer ever so much to make it perfect depending on the subject matter it is actually tweaking. If you want to put all your time into perfecting your skills in using a picture sorting program to edit your individual files go ahead but I'll continue developing my chops on the program of choice designed particully for that purpose which has remained the program of choice for that purpose for decades. Photoshop. This non destructive edition baloney has been blown way out of proportion. No files are destroyed when you work in Photoshop. I love the raw filter to but if the file really needs work it gets opened in Photoshop the program designed for the purpose. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ mark at rabinergroup.com Cars: http://tinyurl.com/2f7ptxb > From: Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 11:28:57 +1000 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] AARRGGHHH!! > > Mark, in this instance, Tina is talking about correcting an issue across > multiple files.
