Carolyn,

That works great. I made a duplicate image and resampled it to 50 
dpi. Made a new layer and used the edge of a soft brush to create the 
curved gradient I wanted. Resample back to the original resolution 
and copied the layer to the original image and changed the layer to 
color burn. Play with the ooacity a little and it's done. Works like 
a champ!

Thanks very much,

Martin
