Clive, I did a little bit of jiggery pokery on your image of the cat's paw to see what I could pull out of it. Performed a couple of curve functions on each channel and some brightness/contrast stretches. The only problems with saving it as a jpeg was it had already lost pixels so compressing it again lost some more. It looks a little "fake" because of this, plus the image has a bit too much red in it. But it's as good as I could get it....jase would do infinitely better!!!
