Aye, it's often quite amazing what can be done on modern PP software these days. For me who's been at this malarky for a lot of years, it's all about the speed of my workflow.
I'm an Adobe man and in the old days you could spend many, many hours and numerous layers doing stuff... that can be achieved now at almost the touch of a button.
My familiarity means that none of my PP takes me too long. This challenge genuinely took a few minutes to achieve, as my workflow always follows a similar path... in terms of which steps need done and in what order.
I always work nondestructively, so the option is there to be able to go back and amend something at a later time. Which often happens when you go away and leave an image and then review it later... only to realise it may have been overcooked.
