Actually, the front appears almost identical, but you were able to bring out the rear teeth well. Tell me about inverting and desaturating the duplicate and making the mask. My goal has been to get a near-perfect image and avoid excessive PS time. But if it can be made into a macro ... then I'm open to the option. np with the image being viewable. Tx.
