Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the feedback and Supe Dave for the link
I've got about $5000 worth of camera equipment and at least 1000 hours of learning on Photoshop over past 10 years. I do all my own ads, websites and brochures now and I have a reputation of being good at what I do.
When I photograph a house it takes me all day, average about 500 pics. I arrive with two camera bags, two ladders, a tripod and I often clean/tidy the homes before I start. I always insist on being at the home alone for the day. I really enjoy this part of my job and I love to bring out the marketing features of my properties.
I'll take your advise and move ahead slowly, but I'm going to have to improve if I want to stay on top.
The other software that I use is Infranview, thanks to Mas here on PPOT and I find it very efficient in handling my files in batch formats. I've also perfected the PS batch revisions when I need to make the same changes to a batch of photos. Its taken me a ton of hours to learn how to be most efficient at this, I'm currently running about $30 Million in inventory and its no simple task to process an outstanding marketing presentation for each unique property.
I really do appreciate your help; keep it coming....
