Elements and Test Image
 

I found a test image in a smugmug site and saved a copy to use.

For a test - I made a TIF work file, of Anne side lit that has many different brightness ranges.

'Piggybacking' my work copy over top of the test image, to bring my image colours tight next to the colour of choice on the test image, I was able to bring colours and tones in my image to match the colours and tones in the test image very accurately. Even the b & w image matched tones in the 16 b & w tone scale at the top of the test image.

When I was finished, I opend NEAT IMAGE and adjusted the controls to take out the minimum amount of noise to stay away from the flat appearance.

Below are the results of my efforts.
