Addendum:
Of course one of the points Bill makes with his rather sarcastic reply
is that doing it right in the camera saves a lot of time in Photoshop.
Another point, is that while my attempts needed some PS'ing, I did know
why they needed PS'ing. Folks who only know how to use their camera on
"auto" often have no clue as to why they have to do all that PS'ing of
their images. After about two more tries I think that all I will need to
do to an eBay image in photoshop is reduce the size and save for web. In
other words fine tuning. Also, I knew what I needed to do it right,
before I started. I just did not have the money for it.

Actually the exposure was off by about 2 stops, fixed it in camera
raw. I will have to put the diggy on manual and use the Sekonic Studio
meter next time.
I did use a light tent and a couple of clamp lights for this. It works
a lot better than my previous attemps with window light without the
light tent, although those photos of my Randall--

I think that folks will have to learn to accept "good enough" in
their digital work. It is like writing, you can work it over and
over and over forever. You have to learn when to stop and say "good
enough". For instance is a photo like this "good enough" for eBay
(maybe 5 minutes total time in Photoshop)?

No fair, you used good technique.
You didn't have to "Photoshop" it.
