You're determined to get the acrylics sorted init?
What software are you using to edit the images?
A close crop and auto enhance does this to your pic in shotwell.

Using cartridges is fun Peter as you commented pictures take time the thing I like when doing mine they are so basic and clear without computerful images I feel good if they mostly look the same as in my hand. From set up toforum ready for me is in the minutes. Will you polish the brass for ever or is iot coated?

Peter I am very familiar with gimp, I use it myself and recommend it to others.
It is in my opinion the best free pic editor, as you say it does take some getting used to and finding your way around it.
It's all in the right mouse click.
I'll leave you alone to familiarise yourself with it, only other thing I would say is use a tripod and timer, bright light init?
