Hi Chris,
Thank you. I actually do very very little of this kind of "touch-up, 
re-touch thing."  Like most folks I spot little dust zits and that's about 
it.

But I liked Lluis photo very much and thought the cropping suggestion 
offered earlier would take away the reflection as I understood the 
suggestion?

So I clicked on the spotting icons and very carefully began spotting away. 
The very best thing is? If you screw-up? You can un-do and start over.... 
certainly one of the great things about Photoshop and computers. :-)

And no I don't fiddle my working photography as I believe if you don't shoot 
it right the first time, don't mess with later. Certainly if one is working 
on a documentary project.
cheers,
ted
