I've been using Lightzone of late for post-processing. I stopped using Flickr so much when they started getting funny about exactly how you linked to photos in fora and never really went back.

Saw this article on retouching jewellery the other day - https://www.photigy.com/the-beauty-a...ore-and-after/ - the before & after shots are particularly interesting. When does it stop being retouching and start becoming painting the whole thing manually?
