For those who may be interested, I did this image - basing it on a 2 page spread of a painting reproduction by SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS.
Using the CONTRAST TOOL, instead of the LEVELS TOOL, I received a warmer tone overall. (The first image was done with LEVELS TOOL and gave a slightly cooler type image on my screen). Also, I worked the SHARPNESS TOOL slider control to bring in a slightly softer appearance to the face. I like how this took away some of the facial imperfections of the original a bit as well as reduce noise when I enlarge the canvas a good bit.
As the original was at 1200 dpi, I did this one at the same size.
