The hair goes from brown to blonde and the background is predominantly gray= /neutral. This is the only hope I have of finding some difference between th= e fore- and back-grounds.

Can anyone suggest a technique and combo of plug-ins? I’m sure many o= f you here have fought this battle before.

Many thanks.
