Bill I feel exactly the same way. The final image is what matters. Do I like it, or not.

Somewhat imposing

The very problem I'm about to describe might not be visible to all as monitors vary from one to another. My friend and I both have Elements 20 and send photos back and forth. She has a laptop (no, I can't tell you what it is) and it does not show things that mine does. I have an HP desktop, with an HP 2311x monitor, nothing fancy but I like it. We both run windows 10. The picture Im posting easily shows retouching along the vase. Its like a vertical band for lack of a better description right next to the vase. Her monitor doesnt show it at all, and wants to do the best retouching she can. She plans on buying an external monitor. We are both just advanced hobbyists, not pleasing paying clients, so she doesn't need anything very high end with a matching price tag. Is it just a laptop vs stand alone monitor issue, or should she be looking for something specific in her new monitor? Thanks very much.
Im enclosing the photo. You may have to view it in a darkened room in order to see it, but it's there.
