Paul you know I was really kinda thinking that way a bit and thanks for the Tip. I didn't/don't know much about this editing and the correct approach to a lot of things. I really appreciate the input. I know of course a lot is how it appears/appeals to each individual.
BTW it's deceiving what this little flower looks like as it is only active in low light conditions,when the sun gets higher/brighter this blossom hides within itself'

I'm setting up a NEW out of the box computer, it is an exact copy of the old one but I hope it doesn't have the same problem's.
The local store Mgr went against Company policy and just swapped it out. They (The Company) wanted me to box it up and send it to a repair center in Tennesee (I'm in Texas),,25-30 days out of business and some possible OOP costs on my end. I wasn't a happy camper when they told me that and expressed that once again to the local guy. He said, " That's ridiculous, bring it to me, I'll fight the battle with my bosses". I kinda think he has that authority on a situational basis. I hung up the phone and started unhooking cables, got dressed, and was back home unpacking the machine in less than an hour.
Now I get to do all the tweaking to my needs for the second time in a week.

Taken with a Canon SX50 Bridge Camera with a Raynox 250 filter attached,,,,Edited with PSE11 Guided The ISO was on Auto and selected 1600, that more than likely caused the grainyness I'll try it on Manual ISO next time and see what it does. Work Flow as follows: Sharpen, Despeckle, Reduce noise, Brightness +, Contrast +, Levels-Input,,,pulled black in adjusted center, Levels-Output,,,pulled black in, Lighten & Darken,,,adjust all 3 options darker, Spot Healing Brush,,,random, Smuudge and Blur background. This flower #1 is 1/2 inch across the long side. #2 is 5/8 inch Before After#1 After#2, A little less Saturation dick

I'm not sure I would want one as I'm not clear at the moment just what it does and how. I'll have to do some utube searches and see it in action.

I'm envious of you all's knowledge of all this hardware. I went to utube and watched a tutorial and right you are Sydney that would take on another learning curve but looks like it would be fun. Now let me show my ignorance ,,was this designed strictly for use with a Laptop or is it used as well with a desktop/tower application?

Dick - nice photo - I'm not sure which version I prefer, though. They both have something to offer. Thanks I'm sort of leaning to the first as it jumps out at you and grabs your attention ,,,,,,,,,,,IMO dick

Thispost was very helpful in letting me make a Shortcut Icon to an App. Disregard any thing I may have said about how I would use it. I found a better way for me.
thanks dick

That worked well and is a big improvement Dick. Thanks Paul I think I could lessen the saturation a bit for a more natural look. Try this one dick

I sharpen first as I think it gives me a better insight to fixing problems within an image when the image has good definition to begin with.
