Ehm... I gave it a little "shadow/highlight" (Photoshops CS) brightening up the shadows (dress) very slightly, but added a little more colour (tone) to the highlight (puts a little more grey to the white). Then I used the "exchange colour" tool, where I really don't know what I did exactly (I could never figure out this tool) - but the result was, that I took away some of the very brightest parts from the hands (what I didn't like initially in this picture was the transperancy of the skin). Finally I cloned away some microscopic dust particles from the dress and adjusted the whole thing very slightly using the "contrast/brightness" tool (use this tool as little as possible - it takes away image information). Finally I sharpened slightly (USM). That's about it.
I'm very pleased you like the result!

(Hope it's OK I published it) Regards Jens Bladt http://www.jensbladt.dk ======= I think that is almost exactly what I want. Close, close, close, very close -- maybe exactly, but won't be sure until I play with it myself. Can you tell me what you did? Sort of? TIA, Marnie aka Doe
