Thanks for the most generous & welcome comment, Ikroll.

And in your "feeble attempt" , I see a combination of sketch, painting, and, saturation enhancement all in a neat package. Nice one.

That explains it. I'm a die hard PSP user. I have PS but I rarely open it. The main gripe I have about PS is that every time you want to "go back" or remove an effect you have to do an Edit> Undo. PSP has a one click undo.
