You can post the version I sent you for comparison. I didn't touch the saturation on mine, but it ended up with the *appearance* of increased saturation. Also, I burned in a couple of spots and applied some lens blur to the foliage in the background left. (Yeah, I know in my original post I said that all it needed was a little curves adjustment, but after I wrote that I decided some other help was needed. Still nothing excessive.) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
