The plugin site (www.photo-plugins.com) appears to be down at 9:00am EST

Hopefully this is the right place to put this link,

Janet not a friend but a very helpful person whom i thanked for his other tutorial i had seen and asked about his forthcoming "lucis one "

Palms

Hey...

I just discovered this post. I'm the one who made the tutorials up.
Thanks for your kind comments.

I have to be honest that I didn't invent any of these methods (except maybe the optional extras). It did take me months to find all the techniques though. What a nightmare.

I did notice another (http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/software/16725-lucis-art-alternative.html#post149880) thread on the Lucis Arts technique too. Very well worth reading and not too disimmilar.

After that I thought I have to put something together to share the techniques. The tutorials are pieced together from many different posts and magazine articles I've read.

I'm glad they are helping you out.

My gallery is at Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/enigmaphotos). The more recent stuff uses these tutorials to create the effect.
As ever... if you have any comments or can think of any way to improve the tutorials then I'm more than willing to change and modify them.

Ha ha.... :dizzy:

If it weren't for people like you Palms and the other folk who ask how I do things, I'm sure that I wouldn't even write tutorials.

I'd happily just carry on doing my own thing.

However, I'm a big advocate for sharing knowledge. It's the only way we all get better.

Had a go used the image :wink: from this challenge

It probably was a bit ambitious but hey nothing ventured :lol: i enjoyed doing it but as i dont have the shadows /highlight function it probably could be better

Palms

WOW, Palms. Very, very nice results.

Janet

Thak you Janet, I have just found a action at atncentral ( where else ) for highlight/shadows
