<p> thanks but I use Alien Skin Exposure and have tried NIK in the past. Nothing has worked, so far and I feel presets/ software still can't offer what is being done here. I was hoping someone could point me to a direction that I would be able to manually convert my images myself by using lightroom, etc.<br>
<br />expanding on my request, I'm hoping someone could describe the process that he uses to achieve this washed out/golden look via darkroom and perhaps translate that into the digital darkroom.</p>
