Nice picture Rich!
At a quick look it is almost convincing. On closer look, the front edge of the flutterby is lighter... Could you try using a Stained glass transparency of the butterfly over the the original (CNTL-K) to clone in place and fade it out quick to tone down the leading edge?
They have a lighter edge naturally. The image was shot against the sky, and would have a blue tinge. The antenna were drawn separately. I would use selective feathering on the leading edge. I had separated the subject in XXP, and have the path available to do that.

I think the next weeks I must stick to my books and learn more

Germaine,
It has been 106F here and we're sticking to everything. This is the first time in a year there is nothing on our schedule.
John,
I exported out to PNG and loaded the alpha channel as a selection. Then painted out the blue firige edge.

Much Better Rich, Much Better! Have you tried just a stained glass transparency? You had the butterfly already cut out. You just needed to do a clone (CNTL-K) and flop it over to a stained glass linear transparency. I would try it, but do not have the original...
John,
You might try this. I made a mask image to keep from having a PNG. The image is in bitmap transparency. You should be able to make a bitmap copy to use.
Rich
Thanks Rich! I will pway and post my findings...
Here is a quick pway...
original butterfly on left. the one with the transparency on the right... Increase the color saturation but wipes out the highlighting... No with another transparenecy, this time a brighten I would guess, you could move the lighting to better match the setting... Gotta pway with this some more...
