Thank you for the kind words gentlemen, they are very much appreciated.
My current camera is a Nikon Coolpix 995, which was a fairly high end amateur digital camera when I got it about 4 years ago. Anything older than that is a scanned print from my trusty old Yashika FR-1. It used this quaint old stuff called film.
I use Paint Shop Pro for cropping and resizing. I rarely do any post processing, except for my astronomy pictures where I do heavy post processing with ImagesPlus, a specialized astronomy package. It is quite amazing to see a ball of fuzz turned into a wonderfully detailed picture of Saturn or Jupiter. (A good final image can take several hours behind the telescope followed by several hours at the computer.)
Cheers!
Mike
