I also use the brush tool or the graduated filter to correct the exposure of the sky (I must buy a grey grad filter someday, it's always a problem with wide-angle lenses). Then I crop until I like the composition. I usually use CS2 only for perspective correction and a couple of bits and bobs these days - BTW, there are some wonderful free plugins for Windoze from a bloke here in Germany available at http://www.vicanek.de/plugins/wireworm.htm he is a VERY clever lad, take a look at his animated sequences showing how his software works - great stuff. Most of these were shot with Leica lenses between 21 and 35 mm or a Tokina 12-24 zoom (a superb lens), mostly on Leica film (R5 and R7) and Canon DSLR (300D and 20D) cameras. I shoot Kodak Elite Chrome 50, 100 and 200 slides and scan them with a Coolscan V ED.
