Hey Bill, I was just acceding to the requests of others. For the most part I don't care for the fix-it-in-Photoshop approach, but it was a good exercise for me to see what ~could~ be done. My comment that it's "almost too easy" might have allowed a clue as to my feelings.
If you're judging me for doing this, remember it was an exercise, not a general approach to photography.
