You could easily select Paint (with appropriate color loaded) click at one end of the line, then Shift Click at the other end and it will paint a straight line between the two. ~lydia

Yes I do think the line is faint, I may send this to pending and look for something else. Or make the contrast darker in the background. Again depending which monitor I am on makes me see the line better.

Yes, SueAnne, no doubt, the line is there and it is leading to the paraglider but it is really very faint. Sorry, John, but I think it would be impossible to select the line with the magic wand tool, the contrast against the background is much too weak and the magic wand cannot do miracles, it is not able to select only the line without selecting anything else. The only way to improve the visibility of the line would be either to increase contrast within the highlight area by adjusting curves or to draw a weak line over the original one (but would the picture then still be a photo?...)
Regards, Gerald

Thank you Rod - the line is there ;)
John, I do not know what to do with the magic wand selector. It has a mind of its own and I am not familiar with this thingy.

SueAnne, If you have one of these magic wand selectors in your photoshop, it could easily select the rope so that you can darken it. Then this would really stand out. John

Phew that was close Sue Anne, I nearly whipped this off to Pending & saw the line up to the glider just in time:-) Excellent looking shot well done megirl:-)
