John, that particular question has raised its head a few times. Unfortunately Flats and darks do not remove Amp Glow. They do a great job on Hot pixels etc, but the only thing that removes Amp Glow (apart from preventing it in the first place with the 'Amp Off' mod) is to remove it manually in 'Gradient Exterminator'.

I have tried the program with uncessful results, whereas Bert has tremendous success with it.

So, rather than email off all my pics to Bert and give him more work to do, I just do what I can in PhotoShop. If I had a really excellent image that I wanted to get the absolute best out of, then I would ask Bert to help.

Yep Gary, thought about it.

But I don't have a camera lens

So it stays a thought.
