Greg,

I think I got rid of the shadow but without the hint I would have had no idea. I think the colours look a bit 'thin'. I did try to move things but mostly it just got worse.

I tried to use sample points to check colours but they did not show anything and the sqare box above the windows that normally indicates colours was not working either. Do I have a problem?

oops wrong image, cant find the screen for this which is a shame

cymyk box. I think that happens when you're working on an adjustment layer.I merge down to a background layer,took me months to figure that out.GregM.

Julie,
Well done...CMYK usually drives people nuts..have you used it before??
The shadows look good, the color separation in the magenta/reds is very good.  The cyan / blue could be stronger but is most certainly acceptable.

never used it before and I would be happy not to do it again. Still it was very interesting to watch that shadow go.

Keep CMYK in mind..It has proven to be very useful even if you are not going to press...There are things in CMYK that can solve very tricky problems. 

We also need the separate channels for masking and color enhancement.
