Cover cleanup progress

I'm counting my uber early post from this morning, as yesterday's post. Lame, but there ya go. Hey! That means I still need to post today! Hope you're not sick of seeing that cover design, because here it comes again, but redone cleaner. Still a few more hours to go, but I'm pleased with the progress. Here are pics.

Quick summary of steps (I'm too tired to go into it): first couple are setting up masks, then basic values, and on with darks/lights. More of that color/value stuff to come.
