Here is my third one......... I know..... it's two merged, but I had a little learning session going on and had to share. The bottom one I did first, in PS Elements 4, by using brush mask on one piece of wood at a time and then going to color variations and tweeking the colors. The top one was done in Corel Photopaint 12, by lasso mask on one piece at a time, then to select, adjust, color range, and was able to pick the new color and adjust to suit what I wanted. Both took close to equal amounts of time and I feel came out with similar results.
