Copy the section to a layer, adjust the layer, and blend it back in.
Elements TWO? I have 7, the current version is 8.

I should've bet money that whoever responded would not be able to resist the
temptation. Made me smile, though. Yes, PSE2. But there is hope. I just
bought 5!!!! My needs are not great with my occassional photo editing. So,
the latest and greatest in this area does nothing for me. I'll catch up
eventually. I promise!!
Anyways, thanks for the tip.

Just so you know, they do make improvements occasionally in the
upgrades. :) Not merely more editing options, but also making what is
there already work better.

You're welcome.
I just learned recently that I can sharpen with a brush rather than by
selection.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is how I do it, using Elements 4: Make a duplicate layer and place it
below the first layer. Hide the upper layer, and use Contrast/brightness on
the lower layer to get the effect you want in the desired area. Overdo it a
bit. Ignore the parts outside the area of concern--they won't show when you
are done. Turn the upper layer back on, and use the eraser to reveal the
part of the lower layer you want to see. Flatten.

Thanks Leo. I am taking Greek 101 right now. You sound like a professional.
I'll get back to you. I am actually going to try that procedure with a
learning curve!
