I was not thinking of using those tools. My idea was to try to do an image as 'straight' as possible and with a softer appearance and edge to it.

When I looked at reproductions on line and in my art reproduction books, I found some images were bright, with soft appearance and edge, and did not have the 'in your face' sharpness and contrast and saturation of many other images.

I should have added more explantion, I guess. What you show is good, but I was thinking of keeping it as close to the source as possible without any manipulation.
