Colin - Many thanks for that, it's a vast improvement on my attempt, I have CS5 so will have to have a play around.

Didn't take a camera with me as wasn't confident of getting in, security was after the turnstyles and spotted many DSLRs in the crowd including one guy in a Steelers shirt with a 60D and a 100-400. :-)

Went to Brands Hatch today for the Bemsee meeting, used my 100-400 IS all day and made the schoolboy error of leaving IS on mode 1. End result a few hundred useless shots. :'( Whilst i'm here, RIP Karl-Heinz Kalbfell whose horrific accident happened right in front of me.

The Snow Leopard above was taken through a chainlink fence.
