That's cool since levels is the tool you've got in PSE3!

Beverly - I've posted a few examples of what can be done with your image in a thread in the Art & Photography section of the message board!

Beverly, you can do something similar in PSE using levels. Create a new adjustment layer, choose levels, and then bring the right-hand slider (the white point) to the left a bit to brighten the image overall, and then play around with the middle slider until the contrast looks right! Although levels doesn't give the control that curves allows, for an image like this that only needs a little bit of help, it will be fine!

Very nice wild rose capture Beverly! Great colors, Don

Beautiful Wild Rose, the petals look almost like silk, very pretty!
