Hi Frank ... You startled me for a moment, and I checked the "N" on the fellow's sneakers. I blew up the image to 1600% and used the eye dropper tool to check the "N" on a pixel by pixel basis. There were five pixels that were pure white, and few were close. However, that's needed to provide some texture. Nevertheless, I brought those that were pure white down a little, and, in fact, shifted the entire "N" down a scosh. I think the results are much better now. Thanks!
Glad you liked the pic. BTW, the guy's looking at a transit map of SF ...
