Quick fix
    Use the levels, pick centre-grey eyedropper and click on what should be a grey area, try a few different areas  to find closest to correct
     By the way does the guy with the dog have odd socks

Just a starting point I make no claims to excellence -using the mask idea as shown in Worth1000.

Am I the only one who is getting addicted to this manipulation game?

Hi Keith

PSP9 quick fix - Ran "one step photo fix option" - Ran "backlight option" - "Ran fade correction option", cleaned up a few spots and finally ran Clarify option.

I like the outcome, but how does it look to other the forum members?

Regards
Ken

Hi All,

Thanks for those attempts - they are all better than I have got!

Denn :
I am sure I remember putting on "even" socks that day - that's me with our dog!  ;D

Kenhar

That's very good  - except you've now made it look as tho I have trousers with different coloured legs - are you in league with Denn?  ;D ;D

Michael
No you're not the only one addicted - that's why I thought I would jump in on the act - makes a change to do one of mine instead of someone elses!!

Thanks again - will now go back and see what a mess I can make - I am trying to remember if the wallpaper was dark green or dark blue - green I think? - that would help with the rest of the colours!

Cheers
