Blimey, where did this old thread jump back from?
What is interesting is that at the time, I couldn't have done that much with the original picture, and what I could would have all been done without the use of layers.
Six weeks on, it would present no difficulty and there would have been adjustment layers and masks all over the place.
This is largely testimony to RootsChat by being able to study before and after images and ask questions to those willing to share; which in turn I have been able to feedback.
