Good shot, great technique. Don't you just love photoshop? Of course some may say pictures are becoming hyper-real. They sure are pretty though. -- Of course maybe with photoshop, our pictures are becoming more about what WE perceive, than what the camera perceives... Thanks, Jeff Jo

Paul's advice works well if your scanner is only capable of scanning grayscale at 8 bits. Also it helps if the DMAX of your scanner is below 4. However, with a 16-bit grayscale image, you'd have 65536 shades of gray to play around with. And again, downconverting to a TIFF is gonna strip out 65280 o
