It seems there's no end to what can be done with photo manipulation on a PC.  What sort of software would ou recommend for this purpose?

cheers for all the tips guys. Very useful

Thinking about it i am a hell of a long way away ,shooting a car donig a ton ,stood on a windy hilly bank, no tripod to steady myself and on this occasion, bloody freezing. what more did i expect? Still i am british so must moan  >:(

I use photoshop 7 as my pc software. have been using it a long time now and must say it can make a hell of a difference to the pictures, when you get to know it. i would definetly recommend it but at £500 to buy it should be good. photoshop elements its a more affordable piece of kit at about £70. its just like ps7 but a more basic level.

Very nice LM SPS!!

I use Photoshop 5.5 which does loads but intrigued to know what 7 does extra? Been wondering for a while whether or not to upgrade.

Cheers

there a few improvements in ps7. a new interface for starts. bit easier to navigate. new auto image control buttons for levels, contrast and colours. useful. i think the healing brush is new. great for quick picture touch ups when there is something small wrong( dust or marks on the picture.) similar to the patch tool. i use this one alot to improve old photos which have signs of age to them. more custom brushes. there is quite a lot new but i think ps8 is about to be released so it may be worth cosidering as im sure the price of ps7 will fall.

hope this helps.
i think i should apply to work for adobe sales.


commision?

Excellent photos guys, I just wish I could find mine out from the mid eightys all fine works of art, I had every single fire extinguisher by the track in focus, but not much in the way of cars that went hurtling past, I had my old russian 35mm with its 125 lens set on 1000th sec. I blame it on the lemonade in the pernod, I knew there was something wrong when it turned cloudy, ;D Still much frivolity, better than my mate duggie - (performance cars in Sunderland) with his posh Canon, the only problem was that duggie had glasses like bottom of milk bottles I never did see any picture in focus and BTW he blamed the brandy (not enough of the stuff by my reckoning).
