I have done a video to show what to do. https://vimeo.com/44951971

Looking at the above, at the bottom of the flyout menu it says Reset camera raw defaults which is what you need to go back to original.

I'm not 100% on elements but in Photoshop you hold down the Alt or Opt key and the dialogue box at the bottom changes to RESET. There should be a DEFAULT in blue at the top of the Basic Slider panel as well. Under the White Balance sliders.

Cracked it then Craig. You worry too much, these are really great shots.

Have you an example. Lightroom 3 should be able to sort it. I have shot 1600 iso at gigs and usually can reduce the noise without plug-ins. I use CS6 and ACR as I find Lightroom 4 a bit clunky but they are the same as far as the software. I'm waiting for Elements 10 to arrive so will have a look...

Bridge with Adobe camera raw and lightroom do exactly the same job. they use the same software engine and I use both but prefer Bridge with raw as I have used this method for years. its a case of learning the software. Mini Bridge in CS5 is even quicker once you get the hang of it. The...

I appears in the Filter Menu in PS when installed. Sloper mentions a good one. Very poular app.

ACR and Bridge are a must for me as a pre restoration tool. Of course I use Photoshop for the manipulation but I browse all my files in bridge, I correct colour and do initial cropping in ACR and Also to bring some contrast to faded areas with the Graduated filter tool. I never Scan in old...

There are 100's if not 1000's out there but the only one I use are NIk plugins. Silver Efex Pro and Silver Efex Pro which is great for Black & White.

Just click on this 2nd monitor icon and choose what you want to show. ie: Loup, Grid etc. Hover over it and it will give tips what to do. Once you use 2 moinitors you won't go back to single. http://www.flickr.com/photos/52288666@N03/4935003623/
