elf: In this photo, the only things I did with Elements to change it was to bring the size down to around 500KB, and also to lighten the shadows 30% to show the tree at the left a little more, as well as to lighten the houses at the right. All the colors are natural, exactly the way they looked the day I took the picture. Since the sensor can "see" through the darkness a little better than my eyes can, even though the detail in the shadows or dark areas don't show in the original photo, they do when I increase the light in those areas.
