Experimenting

I stumbled across a tutorial for using the Vibrance tool in CS4. I've since made adjustments to most of my photos using it.  I'm going at a snails pace, perhaps even slower, but I did learn something new!

To be honest, neither version is particularly good but I think the bottom one is a little bit better. I'd like to see her skin look a little less, ghostlike for lack of a better term but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.  And I did more than adjust the vibrance. I played with the saturation and tone as well.
