But you didn't; now you need 9 stitches. There's no "undo" command for real life, but for your images, there's me.
I see myself primarily as a retoucher - making already great images even greater, rather than a digital Mr. Fixit. Still, so much of my day-to-day work is being that last line of defense before the printer, that the thought popped into my head that I was in the business of selling 9 stitches... an impulsive late night visit to the domain registrar later, and here we are.
