Hi Trevor,

Great alignment for an unguided image. I do not know anything about the camera you are using but you could check out EZYSTYLES.COM.AU as there are tutorials about processing using DSS and Photoshop. I always have a go at some processing using DSS. When your Image comes up you can go to the botttom and adjust the colours, luminance and saturation. I am no expert however pick a section of your image(click and drag) and line up all the colour histograms to about 1/3 from the left hand side. Once done go to your luminanc3e and adjust the midtones. I am guessing you could go about 8 on the top midtone and 33 on the bottom. Then adjust your other two but I find minimal difference in these. Once done got to saturation and boost it to between 15 and 20. If you go too far the image breaks up a little. Once this is done save and goto another program like PS
Good luck.

Mark
