I use AstroArt v5. I also downloaded the demo of Nebulosity and I also get weird results when using the calibration files, obviously I'm doing something wrong.

Yes just mucking around in Lightroom and CS2.
My processing goes something like this:
Think I'll move this slider, hmm yeah that looks better, I wonder what this other slider does... umm nope, undo.
I have no I dea what I'm doing in post haha (or pre for that matter... re: calibration

I did trial PI a long time ago, it just seems impossible to use at my skill level.
