Using the magic wand, I selected the browns in the clock (and trust me, there are a lot of different browns - lol) once they were all selected I used the manual color correction to make the clock a deeper shade of brown. It still didn't look quite right so I went to Colors, Adjust brightness & contrast to obtain the color I wanted. I then Clarified. Oops, I just noticed something!! On the top left and top right corners, I shouldn't have selected them for the manual color correction as they aren't part of the clock - sigh.....
I want to thank you, Linda, for a wonderful 6 weeks. Thanks also to those of you who took the time to look and comment on my work. I can't wait to see what you all come up with in the PSP Addicts class!!!
