Giving your technique of zooming in and out a try, I discovered a new one... at least for me... Maybe someone else wants to give it a try? Here it is: I found that keeping the picture at about 125% and rocking your body and head left and right, makes imperfections in backgrounds appear! Spots and dirt and distractions you hadn't noticed before, suddenly are so clear to the eye! I can't explain it, but try it for yourself... Another way of achieving this, is looking at your monitor from different angles while retouching a background. Same thing happens: Imperfections that seemed invisible, suddenly appear when shifting your head to a different angle. Tx again for the tips! Hi there,
