Sepiana - The chisel tool is in the newest version of On1 Photo Raw 2019.2. And it works just as well if not better then the previous version. Bruce, you are absolutely right; it is there. I had somehow overlooked it. Thanks so much! I owe you one. NO WAY - it is me (and many others on here) that OWE YOU big time.

On1 Photo Raw 2019.2 has definitely upped the game on photo work with this version. I personally have moved from Lightroom to using this program exclusively. A friend has even moved from Lightroom/Photoshop due to the many features that can be found all in one program - and all non-destructive.

Thanks for posting this. I believe it all goes to the purpose of the photo......is it supposed to "affect" you or is it supposed to show what is "real". Granted that the combination of both is something strived for by photographers for publications (newspapers, Nat. Geographic, etc). And that is fine - but I like the "affect" - but it would be nice to see if it was manipulated a lot (adding parts versus adjusting the photo (Adam's "Moonrise").

a year ago I replaced an older Epson printer with the Epson Surecolor P800. It costs more then the P600 BUT - if you do a lot of printing - the difference in price (for me at the time as the P800 was on sale) was paid for after replacing all the ink cartridges 1 and 1/2 times. This sounds strange but the ink tanks in the P800 are much larger then the 600 and based on how many pages printed per tank it became a no brainer. Plus you can print larger prints if you are into that sort of thing - 17 inch wide vs 13.

Going through and "cleaning out" the computer. Ran into old PSE 6, 8, and 9. Looking at the Presets in each and ran into some brushes, etc. that are not part of PSE 18. Can these old files be dragged into the respective preset files and work in 2018? Thought I would check here before starting this process in case there are some problems with doing this - and I don't want to reinstall 2018 again. Thanks for any insights. ~bruce.

I don't think I should "mask out" due to the reflections in the droplets would not match up with what is behind them (the adjusted warmth). In a real close look of the original photo (the posted 1 was reduced in size) you can actually see the flower field (albeit upside down) in each droplet. I might print a 17X25 on my Epson SureColor P800 - so this might be easily picked up when printing that large. I agree that this is one of those you can play with in so many ways - which can make it fun but also tedious. I'm also considering a portrait crop versus the horizontal. Thanks to all for compliments and suggestions - "a village can make a photo"

thanks Michael - I almost missed it where i was walking in the flowers. I looked back at the last second and had to get down on my knees to see it hidden in the flower stems.

Thanks for the insights Bailey. You are correct on the extra sharpening - I am in the process of doing each drop individually (talk about time consuming). The noise doesn't seem to appear (even tho we know its there) on a 8X10 Red River Paper Polar Metallic Pearl - but it would show up if I went bigger. I also agree on the levels adjustment and will give that a try. What about cropping? Is the plant on the left too "heavy" or does it help set the scene. I've thought about cropping it similar to what you have in the photo above - but also thought that would take away "where it was taken" and give some reference. I've about 30 photos from that morning outing with all kinds of flowers. I'm also working on a cone flower with heavy dew drops hanging from a couple of the petals. It was a photographing bonanza for me. Thats what it means to get out at 6 AM in a heavy fog.
