Thank you doggonegardener, I really appreciate your help. It's definitely a no go! Hope you don't mind but I might ask for your help again later. Thanks again.

What a nightmare! This is so ridiculous I'm embarrassed to post it, but I'm gonna do it anyway cause it took so long ;) Clone tool in PSP froze up and won't work. That's a first, and why I have nooo idea. You can see where it did part of the floor and then went kaput. So that's why the floor and back splash look crappy. (I had some nice tile for backsplash and a countertop, but since I can't clone it in I just had to flood fill those areas with color instead, darn it.) Can't remove the white valance, either, so I had to put the new one right over top of the original. Maybe someone with software that's not pitching fits can tweak it, I'm ready to pull my air out with PSP today. Mom's really going to have to use her imagination with this one!

All you need to do is play with the program and eventually you can figure it out. That is how I learned but I do not know everyting. As far as I know you can change the color of the walls in several ways: One way is: Open the photograph select the magic wand tool click in the area to be changed now you can press delete and the area will get white (optional) or just keep the old color under the new layers. When the area is still selected you go to edit/fill and ok. the area automaticly will get the color that you have in the foreground or in the background. You could use the paint brush instead the fill command and start applying the color. (do you know how to select and change colors?) another way is when the area is selected, you go to layer/new fill layer/and solid color or pattern/ok and ok again after selecting the color you want. The advantage of using this way (by layers) is that you can change the layers easily: layer/change layer content/and solid color or pattern/ok and ok after selecting what you want. You can also use the lazo tool to select the area to be changed. If it is an square, the easiest way to select is using the rectangular marquee tool. Hopefully Lindybarts is here later and she can explain it better. good luck

Nice job Michoumonster! kaysd - I've found that it you can take a picture from straight on, it's much easier to photoshop. Love your luce di luna; looked for, lusted after, but couldn't find slabs I liked. The hood looks great IMHO. Best, oldbat2be
