Does anybody else have the same issue as me, where you look back at pictures on your portfolio, which at the time seem well processed, but looking back you really want to reprocess them all again but just can't face it? Or is it just me?
and please use their services

It's just you 
....
No, wait, it's just the two of us. Happens all the time, not sure f it's because my ever expanding collection of Photoshop tutorial CD's are finally sinking in, or that my opinion of my photos changes over time or depending on what mood I'm in!

I've found that a lot of the images I took over a year ago are either not processed at all, or quite over-processed.
The best advice I ever had was at college when the tutor told me that I should do everything in layers, and then back things off using the opacity slider to lessen the effect. Less is more for straightforward shots.
Of course, I still can't resist the odd heavy effect, but that's more for fun.
More knowledge and experience equates to better processing. It's just an electronic darkroom after all.
As to going back and reprocessing them. Well, I tend to just re-work the original unprocessed image again. Of course with the advent of such software as Lightroom, it's easy to step backwards and undo changes that are no longer pleasing.
