Glad that this was of some use to you. I didn’t know if it was too simple to point out but these things can be overlooked sometimes. And it is very useful and beats applying details and blurring the info you don’t need.
There’s lots more you can do as well to get interesting results. I’ve uploaded an odd alpha that I made that I’ve found a hundred and one uses for… well… a good few uses. It works well with the Deco brush (and the Morph Edit Brush) to make wrinkles and the likes.

Ron, nice of you to ask. I’ve been busy working on visual effects for a film. I’m working from home so all my time when I’m at the computer is spent on work. I’d like to do some more homework when I get the chance. It’s been a long time since I posted anything here. But I feel that I’ve learnt a lot in this job and I hope to put it to use on a home project soon.
