Thanks Nik. I'm glad you completed this very useful page. Although I
agree that some of the techniques you used were not ideal with my
photograph I found it instructive to compare the effects on a common
image. Finding a single image that works in each case is probably too
difficult but perhaps you could show the effects on a common set of
two or three images.
