Here is another selection question. I want to figure out how to select the bird houses and the flowers. Should this be done with one mask or several? What combination of tools are the best choice?

This one has all the colors.

This one is where I was heading, only I want to also add more tone detail in the b/w section, and include the flowers on the top right hand side, as color.

Is it possible to turn on IMG code so the pic will appear in the post?

I think you should use attach file instead of IMG wich refers to an URL. Let's try:just limit the size to 800*600 and do not preview your reply

Hmmm, it still doesn't show in the message...

I have have to leave for about a week, so I won't be able to check all your great suggestions until I get back. I will be getting back, in a week.
