Here are some of the early overall changes I've made. I made a color cast correction in Elements 2. Then took it to PS 6 and made some color balance corrections in the shadows, midtones, and highlights. Brought up the green, red, and yellow. I picked up the saturation a bit, made some overall adjustments to the levels, and cloned out a couple of spots (just to show my girlfriend how that's done). It still needs alot more work but this is what I got done in 5 minutes. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2187853 Mark
