Thanks everyone for their compliments.
Scubagirl,
To edit my photos, I use a combination of Jasc (an old, cheap, and simple program that is no longer available - it was taken over by Paint Shop Pro) and Photo Elements 6. Usually all I do is use the auto correct feature (auto levels in PE 6) and then sharpen and crop. I don't use the underwater mode on the camera; in my opinion, this often doesn't turn out that well. The auto levels in PE 6 and the comparable "quick fix" in Jasc usually turn out very similar for shallow water snorkeling photos, although sometimes one is better than the other. I haven't fooled around much with PE 6, and when I have, I don't seem to come up with better results than the simple "auto levels" command. I have another photo editing program - Paint Shop Pro X, but I have not found its auto correct feature to be very good for snorkeling photos.
I don't white balance my camera underwater, so photo editing is essential to bring out the colors in my shots. The auto correct commands in the two programs I mentioned seem to do the job for me.
