The jarring left rail and the colour difference and line to the left for the rail.... I realize for composition the extend rails work but I would have been tempted to chop them ;). I may use this to try my hand at improving my cloning. Cheers, Tom
ps: I do not know the Pic Postcard... does that use layers also??

The more difficult tasks have been scripted in a provided panel that works in either version of PS. Yes there is a difference in the rail colors now that you mention it, but I don't think I will bother fixing it, though I had already made one update to put sleet in front of the train and turn on the light. Thanks for commenting.

This is another image from the Sacramento Railroad Museum that I decided to play with today. The NEF was brought into CNX2 to capture camera settings and then a TIFF moved to PS CS6 Extended where it was first put through the Picture Postcard Workflow. Since this was an image taken at the museum, it just did no do the train justice and it was too close to the edge of the frame. Otherwise the PPW did a great job on the processing. So I opened one of the cloud images I save from time to time that had already been processed in Capture NX2 and added a diagonal motion blur to it. I then selected the train out of the PPW processed image and pasted it into the cloud file. Well that was OK except I still had the floor of the museum and the shadow which also contained floor that I had carefully kept, so a bit more masking was required to remove the floor, keep the shadow but not the floor and extend the remaining rails just a touch. This is the final result. D700 with 17-35 f/2.8 zoom @ 28mm.f/7.1, 1/25s, ISO 3200.
