Jim, Thanks for you interest and suggestion. I'm Elements 4.0. Do I have colored filters? If so, how would they be applied? I simply scan (Epson 3170) in PS. I mainly applied levels, as I remember. In reviewing it, I feel the sky could be somewhat lighter. Halo is greatly reduced by so doing, of course, but It's difficult to be certain after looking at it for awhile. I'm open to any suggestions you may care to offer. Please keep it "dumb", for my sake. :))
