Hey Donald, I do like the warmth of your version, and noticed by overlaying it with the original you also took out a few dark spots in her skin, not that she has that many, but it made her look smoother. I imagine if she had make-up on they would have been gone anyway. The post I made here had no color adjustment, just contrast. Also, I remember the sky was a deep blue here Monday, so the defused light coming in through the window where I shot her is where that blue tint came from. Now, after all this, Im ready to finish it and will place it in the gallery. Wish I had that Neat Image Pro, though. Gotta get that. And Michelle, Im gonna do my best to get a second shoot. Wish me luck. Oh yes doca, the gumbo was the best I've had in a long while, and the best part of my tip was for her to get a portfolio! Thanks everyone for all your input. The final will be better for it, I know. :~)
