    YOu may ask.......The pic. is and early morning back lit shot. So the glow of the weed is pretty much as shot.

    I use EFEX COLOR PRO 3. EFEX is a set of filters that requires Capture 2 or Lightroom to work. It isn't a standalone.

    I used Pro 3 to darken the entire picture to the level of the back ground.

    Then used Capture2 to isolate the weed and lighten the weed back to the approx. level that it was shot at.

    You can try out EFEX COLOR PRO 3 for free for 15 days. Just make sure you have the software req. to support it.

    If you have any other questions feel free to contact me.......gary

    Thank you, Gary, truly appreciate it. Hmm, I do not have the Lightroom nor Capture 2 at the moment. But I am getting there. The Arizona Sunrise is magic and it shows on many of your photos.

    I have a special application in mind but perhaps I am just dreaming about doing it. I saw a huge painting in the Modern Museum of Art in <st1:City><st1:place>New York City</st1:place></st1:City> and it inspired me to do a photo mosaic or collage, with different tones and values composed of various photos. Unfortunately, I don’t know of any software to put it all together. At present, I just have Corel’s Paint Shop Pro X3. I can’t even find an example to show you what I want to do but the link below may give you an idea. It would probably take hundreds of images to put all together if my computer could handle it. This is yet another reason why your PP techniques intrigue me. Gosh, I wish I could explain what I have in mind without writing a book. <o:p></o:p>

    Stephany...I understand what you want to do...GOOGLE "collage software" and it should take you to a page with many choices, some of them are free.......gary

    Was wondering what you were up to for shifting this and that as you have
    shared. Often times conveying a very cool and unique end result per the
    photo and tweek choices with the tools. Will be awhile before I can even
    consider further what your doing. Dang it. :D
