Raji -- What a great idea it was to donate images to Veterans Affairs Canada! I'm sure the Veterans who've seen them enjoyed them as much as I did.

ZEBtoonz -- I look forward to seeing your beach house if and when you can post it.

Craig -- My thought was by drawing a few lines you can sometimes give some punch to reinforce only the edges needing reinforcement. Generally the problem with edge finding filters is they aren't selective enough -- they find all edges and not just the important ones. One way around that might be to apply Thredgeholder to a copy of your image that you've brightened considerably. (LittleInkPot's Xpose! could likely be used to brighten by poweringup the highlights). The edges that result can then be overlaid on the original with stained glass transparency.
