Playing with Photoshop *PIC*

If I posted this before I apologize, but it is a good example, at least in my biased opinion, of what you can do with Photoshop. The original was a dark, back lit picture, interesting mostly because of the subject matter and passage of time. But by using Photoshop we (several folks helped me on this, and there may still be too much magenta) were able to brighten up the dark side and make a much more interesting photo out of it. But there are trade-offs. We struggled to minimize "artifacts" that occur when you diddle with PS, and the result looks more like a Norman Rockwell painting than a photograph. But I like it.
