Summer's over (or winter, for our southern-hemisphere friends) and we're well in to October. The leaves are falling, and the pumpkins are o'lanterning.

We have a scary new contest over in the Studio forum. September's contest was one of the most popular ever. Stop over and see the entries, and maybe see if you're up to the chills of this month's morbid mayhem.

We welcome AKVIS as another vendor taking advantage of our official product support forums. If you have a product relevant to our users and need a support forum, send me an email and we'll talk about it. If you just want to advertise your product, our targeted Google ads link is towards the bottom of most every page.

I need old photos that need restoring, portraits that need retouching, nice shots otherwise ruined by color and exposure problems, all for our Challenges. Email lowrez versions to me to dnelsonATretouchpro.com.
