A couple of years ago I converted all of my old slides to digital. Images that looked pretty good as slides certainly lost it as digital. I didn't have PS available then but now I do, I've started to look at some of the old images to see if they can be saved.
Here's a before and after example of one that I've worked on a bit including running it through Picture_cooler. Any suggestions as to how or if I could still improve it.
I'd really like to get rid of the "glossy" look along his back.
