    I PPed these two photos. Love the first one but the discus ghost on the left sort of ruins this photo.

    It does work.
    For a complete black BG, I would take a brush and and take the exposure slider to the left, then paint around the fish. That will darken/blacken the BG completely.
    (5237 maybe a tad to bright.)

    Cool stuff.

    For whatever reason the extreme whites go red and the extreme blacks go blue. I think I have a calibration problem. This does not happen on the laptops screen but on the Asus ProArt monitor I got for Christmas.
