Yeah, I played with in picasa to remove saturation, just wanted to try and get a hint of red and green in it.

edit I will post the original for comparison...

Yeah I'm wondering what software to get. Might trial elements 5, sub £100 ideally, is elements ok?
The camera is a d200, did have a point and shoot minolta which went through batteries like nothing else on earth. ( went for the d200 as its weathersealed, good job too last weekend in skye, and living in the north of scotland)). When I took the apple piccy I had the d200 set to vivid. Have now toned it down...

Vent, thing with photoshop cs2 is I dont think I'd make full use of it considering the price. Unless older versions are ok?
Maybe I'll try the gimp.
