[Leica] IMG: Another Look

[jhnichols at bellsouth.net (Jim Nichols)]

Ted,

Thanks for taking time to voice your opinion, which we all respect.  I 
prefer to PS only those items that require cleanup to avoid obvious 
distractions, letting the rest of the image remain as captured.  I have to 
admit that the PS tools can get one carried away with mods for the sake of 
mods at times.
