Finally got around two it. Three images added to Pending: Spider with contrast adjustment, Spider with contrast and saturation adjustments, and Spider with Topaz Sharpen AI. I look forward to receiving feedback.

Now, about adding that little vignette...

Jim, I admit I never noticed that. I'm in serious need of some "playtime" with these tools. Thanks for your help.

Traveller, I see those in DPP. As I've said previously, I struggle with knowing how much adjustment to apply. Kind of a Goldilocks and The Three Bears situation. Thanks for sharing the "just right".

I'll try both separately and then combined, hopefully not Frankensteining the spider too much.

Dave, I like to think that Simple is Good. My changes are in the title, one is 43% Contrast added....the first one in Pending is 43% contrast, 25% Saturation added. Every program has these as the very most basic controls...So, in my view, keep it easy.

Best Wishes, Traveller

Dave, - In Topaz Sharpen AI there is a menu item near the bottom called "select". Choose that one, turn it to "on" and then select auto subject.

So I have Topez AI Sharpen. How do I get it to act on the Spider alone?

T & D - just a bit of Topaz sharpening AI on the spider alone really helps. A little vignette adds as well.

Geeze, give you Gentlemen free reign and you go crazy with fine images...also loved the dog portrait. Though I think this spider would improve with some more contrast. Traveller
