I know you are a Photoshop guy...

What happened in the past year that made things much less easy to tell an alteration had been made?

new version?

new process?

??

It's actually been less than a year, but the improvement is remarkable.
Thanks, the process is the same it has always been...just lots and lots of practice! I’m still using the PS Elements program 6.0 that I first purchased in 2009.

Interestingly enough, those last two were created 2 years ago. I guess back then was the beginning of the improvement in skill.
