However I'm going to offer words of "photo blasphemy!!! J May I be forgiven for this moment of transgression! Use the adjusting magic of image quality for photo improvement!! .. "Photoshop!" There I said it!!! And burn/clone in the big white area upper left corner!!! Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh now I've done it.. " a manipulation of a documentary photo!! Oh may I rot in the bowels of planet Earth for even suggesting it. L However, look at it this way... This move isn't any different than cutting a piece of card the same size as the bright square and burning it to match the black area around it.. purely a darkroom action! Not to be construed as a Photoshop magic moment of manipulation! See how easy one can get around the whiners against Photoshop and fiddling! J If you can do it in the wet darkroom that makes it Photoshop legitimate!!! J ted
