Congrats!

It was worth rescuing it from Frass.

You can get

the cheaper version: Photoshop elements. It can do almost as much as the fancier version for a fraction of the price. I hardly ever use the more expensive one.

Don't frass it yet

Don't give up so soon; at least get an ID. Also, some people have been learning how to improve photos using Photoshop by posting questions in the forums; Gayle gave me some very good tips that I didn't know about. I suggest that you ask too; I bet that you would be helping others who are afraid to ask.

Better ?

I played with it a little since it was in Frass already.

… John R. Maxwell, 2 December, 2009 - 2:02pm

Much better

Guess I need to get Photoshop.

Too dark?

These dark bugs against a white background are very difficult. I found that a little touch-up with Photoshop helps a lot in many instances; just increasing the brightness somewhat and the contrast a tiny bit shows a lot more detail. Can you try that?

thanks Beatriz

I will read the discussion, it looks like it will be very helpful. Actually, this image is already lightened. I knew it was too dark but took a chance.
