Hi Everybody, On the positive side. Photopaint has a tool that I can not live without. It's not present in Photoshop or PaintShopPro. -- THE INTERACTIVE GRADIENT TOOL AND ITS DIALOGS ! Look at the retouched photo below. All that I did was darken the sky on the left, top, and right sides. Altogether it took a few minutes. It would have taken me a month in Photoshop or PaintshopPro. Procedure. 1. Create new layer from sky. 2. Darken 3. Add layer mask. 4. Use the interactive gradient tool on the layer mask a few times. 5. You can adjust the gradients while watching the effect ! You can't see what is happening in Photoshop or PaintShopPro when adding a gradient to the layer mask. It's just stabbing in the dark. Here's the retouched version. Phil
