As sugested to stop overly cluttering the Nice Photos thread matbe my help question should have it's own thread.

Maybe I could get Richard to move my question and the replies to this thread?

What happened in Paris gives me perspective. Normal time I should be a bit upset. Today, I will just say half smiling: what happened to keep it simple? What happened to stick to the main question of the topic and don't turn it into a PhD dissertation electronic style.
I can't even blame you guys, you are all stop good and love your stuff...however, someone also said. Nice things in life is when you know how to keep it simple :-)

I've not found that.

I did, on the first page.

I started a thread about six months ago, with a few examples of what it could do, if you shoot with a lens that produces CA and a vignette it’s definitely worth using.

I use it convert all my raw files (or those that are worth converting). It’s very easy to use, load a picture, it automatically sets white balance, exposure, lighting, contrast, colour, noise, distortion, vignetting, CA and lens softness. The beauty of it is, you’re presented with sliders for the above properties, making it easy to tweek the image to suit.

Doesn’t allow any creativity, no layers, no masks, no erasing and no cloning, the only thing you can do is straighten and crop.
