Steve, thanks very much for all the help and detailed information. I'll give it a try myself to see if I can learn how to do this as well. Kind regards.

Steve, thanks. That looks a lot better! Is there tutorial on how to do the edits you performed? I've read three online tutorials and cannot figure out how to select a portion of the photo (such as ...
