Before & After Fun
Photo retouching is like cleaning house. You never want to do it but once you get in the groove it becomes therapeutic.
Still not perfect, but the powers-that-be thought it looked fine in its original state so it's all gravy anyway.

For best results, say the words out loud as you toggle, "dirty, CLEAN!".
