Thank you Wfooshee. I should jump back on this one and try that. It's not a spectacular shot (the main draw is her wink - lol), but maybe I will try it if nothing else than for learning.

I am finding that using those masking apps and tools is hard under some circumstances. With some pix they're easy, but other ones, where there's very little contrast between subject and background, the software doesn't work that well. I need to seriously work on the subject
