I am another very happy Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 user with my Canon 60D

The previous poster is correct, the flashing pixels are ones that are "blown out" or completely overexposed in your shot. If you do not like this feature you can turn it off in the 60D menu, it is called "Highlight Alert".

I don't find the 60D shutter particularly noisy. There is a bit of noise from the mirror flipping up and down. If you're not sure if this is the noise you're hearing switch to Live View and shoot some shots. In Live View the mirror is held up as it is not needed.

I use Topaz Denoise to remove noise and DxO Optics Pro to remove chromatic aberration before importing into Photomatix. Topaz Denoise does a heaps better job of removing noise without destroying any detail than Photomatix does. It takes longer but I think gives superior results. I will usually remove noise again on the final image too.

I am another very satisfied Topaz Suite user. I think that Denoise is one of the best noise reduction tools and I love Adjust too.

You don't need to upgrade PSE you just need to update the Adobe Camera Raw add-in. The A57 is listed as supported in the latest ACR 7.1 camera list.
Just search for Adobe Camera Raw Update on google and you'll find the link to the Adobe site where you can download the update.

I have the original iPad too, and love it. I have bought the Snapseed editor app too and it is powerful and easy to use. That said though, I do very little editing of photos on my iPad. I just find it easier on the Mac with a mouse and keyboard.

I too like Photoshop Elements and have recently purchased the Topaz Suite as well (which install as filters within Photoshop Elements). I particularly like the Topaz Denoise filter which does a better job of removing digital noise than anything else I've tried.

Also just trying the free trial version of DxO Optics Pro which using special scientifically developed modules or various camera body and lens combinations and can therefore automatically fix many things like lens oftnesscand distortion, chromatic aberration etc.

You may just need to update your version of Adobe Camera Raw, which you can do by visiting www.adobe.com, Adobe are adding support for new cameras all the time.
