Hi Moose,
Glad that I can provide you with images to toy with. After my halos on the
recent airplane shot, I have tried to be a little more careful about
overdoing the sharpening. I thought about pushing it a little more, to
bring out the spots, but decided not to do it. Your changes work well,
though I'm not sure I want to introduce additional software just for that
purpose.
Thanks for the example.
