You can separate the bird though, in Photoshop, to a layer and save that as a new file, then run neat image on the original, open it back up in PS, then drag the bird layer over to the original.  I hate to bother you and sound stupid (though when it comes to PS I am!) How do you separate the layers? I have Photoshop CS. RESPECTING NATURE while photographing it...

canonloader Cream of the Crop More info | Sep 10, 2006 16:39 | #18 It's not stupid, it's a tough program.
When the part you want to select goes from one border to the other, you do NOT need to close, but on your bird, you would want to go all the way around and connect back where you started, to close it. You can see my line below, side to side.
Once your line is done, mouse over to the left, at the top and click the Paint Bucket tool, then click in the area you wanted selected, in my case, the landscape part at the bottom. This fills in that area with blue.
Now, just click OK and your new layer cutout is in the History panel. This next pic is the extracted layer, with the original background layer blanked out. I use this tool now almost exclusively, because it is 100% better than any of the Magic Wands. It follows the line of contrasts in your images almost perfectly.
From here, you can open your original image in Neat Image and do your thing with that. Then open it in PS along with thise extracted image, and you can drag the bird layer over to the other image and make sure the layer is above the old one. Your background is neat, but the bird is still sharp. You could do the extract thing again, and just cut the bird, but the new layer covers it just as well. Mitch- ____...^.^...____
