Do you have the plug in for curves in Elements? It would be a lot
better than levels. Since I use Photoshop itself I don't use it but
have heard it works well.

Rick,

I use noise ninja on most images taken when the outside temp is over
50 degrees F (the 40D has a lot more noise than the 350D at summer
temps over 50 degrees). CCD stack to align, add, and normalize the
background. Adobe photoshop elements 3 for levels, color saturation,
and additional noise filtering if necessary (sometimes noise ninja
leaves "speckles").

Another nice one. That lens does a great job. What software do you use
to process your images?
