thankyou to Russell Brown for the below....

....... sometimes images get oversaturated when shot, the first image is as shot, the second image has more detail by using channels.

Evaluate your channels
choose the channel with the most detail
Choose Select>all - Then choose Edit>copy.
go to layers select the background layer
Choose edit>paste
you should have a new layer 1 that is black and white

Now apply a blending mode to Layer 1
Choose layer 1
Select the move tool and then hold down the shift key and hit the minus key, and you will scroll through the different blending modes

Image as shot

after the above....

and for something different......
highlight rose with magic wand
hold down the "option key and command key" on the mac and do as many copies as you like

Thanks for the hint BP. I've bookmarked the steps and will give them a try.
