 First edit with PSCS2 in my new Mac. I had lots of trouble with it, as PS kept shutting down on me.

Converted from RAW in PSCS2.
Adjusted levels.
Worked with a couple blurred layers to soften the image a little.
Flattened image.
Adjusted colours a tad.
Used the dodge tool to lighten the stem/bud part.
Resized.
Sharpened and saved as JPG.

I don't know how to save history in PSCS.
