So Gentlemen answers on a post card.

Pre-set options should, of course, not be totally ignored. I found that sometimes they actually work quite well and can then be further refined. My "jump-to" editing software is PSP, followed by Painter if certain artsy effects are required, sometimes for commercial printing. I agree that post processing is definitely an exercise in subjectivity. However, with a light handed approach plus common sense and imagination it can make the difference between an OK image and a stunning one. Only be sure to always pay attention to the reaction of the viewing public or customer.
