Wow.... I just remembered what 'being over my head at the aquarium' is like.
I've shot RAW, never been able to get a file to open.
PDF, I swear, was made in such a way as to make my head swim, the screen
flashes at me with an 'almost' regular pulse. if I really need to read it I
have to print it out.
Basically, at this point, other than photo reduction for sending and a crop
and a few minor futz's, I just don't do picture manipulation. If I ever get
time to just photograph stuff and not have to be on a data collection trip
or some tour all the time, I may look into it more.
But I do appreciate you tip, gonna file it with my 'camera' stuff for when I
need to review something (can't find anything in the inbox, I've been
getting 600+ a day the last few weeks, ya hear me Andrew! <I use to be the
one filling peoples in boxes in some other groups!>

Noise reduction program is very effective in removing noise for digital
camera images. You can shoot at ISO800 or 1600 with E500 still get
acceptable result. To get the best result there are some basic rules:
- never use JPEG, there is always in-camera noise reduction and JPEG
artifacts which damage the regular noise pattern of your image.
- shoot RAW
- convert the file with NO sharpening and noise filtering (Silkypix is a
very good one)
- do not make any adjustment on the exposure/brightness/contrast.
- save as 8 or 16 bit Tiff
- filter the file with your favorit noise reduction program (I use Nate
Image)
You also need to prepare a noise profile with the calibration target. The
setting should be the same as the files you are going to filter.
