I could bring all the images (3 different shots each of all 3 skeins - this is only 1 of each) into white balance at once, and that only took a few seconds. I could then correct each group of 3 images for each yarn for color accuracy, though I cropped and retouched each image with the Retouch Tool individually. Getting from the middle row to the last row took about 70 minutes, though much of that time was spent experimenting with the various tabs full of tools. I think that will be much reduced when I have a better idea of what each does, and when to use them. This red-orange is the  most accurate I've ever come with a shade in it's range. It's still a tad yellower than the yarn itself which is slightly rustier; the green sliders had no effect, and that's all that would have been required to tone down the orange ever so slightly.  I chose the two greens because I had been unable to correct their color in a way that distinguished the two greens. The yellows in the 3rd image are right-on. I was unable to get this yellow & this green using Photoshop tools when the skein was photographed under daylight CFLs.Peace,Dave</blockquote>
