Workshop Note
Hi Achim, in this workshop I mainly wanted to boost the saturation a bit. I was fighting with the 200K limit imposed on workshop copies so I actually boosted it a little more than I might have normally and increased the contrast a bit to make the smaller file size copy "appear" with a little more definition.

To do this I first used unsharp mask (15, 30, 1) to boost the contrast a bit. I applied a mask to tone down the brush around the animal. I then increased saturation +30 and masked down the brush a bit again.

I hope this meets with your approval. I have removed the copy from my terminal.

Regards, John
