Thank you for the "Welcome". The steps I use in Picasa is very simple. First thing I do is Pencil Sketch, and it has slides that will inhance. I save that and go to the contrast for further adjustments. any thing that is saves can be reverted back to original. The bigest problem I have is losing resolution with poor quality pictures. Hair is a big deal for me. I end up drawing a lot of it with clues that are visible in the pictures.
