I'd just like to say how much I appreciate Paul's recounting of his
techniques in Photoshop: the workflow below and his comment about turning up
the brightness and then adjusting the exposure in another email just allowed
me to rescue a shot I would otherwise have discarded.
Paul, you da man!

It's shot RAW, converted with only small increase in temperature, a slight
reduction in exposure and increase in brightness and contrast. I sharpened
it in the converter (due to sheer laziness) to 65 and converted it to a
144 meg 16-bit tiff. I cropped it to remove extra space in the left of
frame and cloned out a toy that was on the floor behind Grace. I saved a
45 meg 8-bit file for printing, then resized it in PhotoShop (Binary
Sharper) for the web. I added a bit of USM to the web image (90%, 1 pixel,
threshold 11).
