Craig | I think it's something else, Craig, but we're all stretching our skills, too.

- move the "remove distortion" slider to about +30 (towards pincushion);
- because the picture was taken above her head, move the vertical perspective slider to about +10
- move the scale slider to about 125%
I think these effects can be approximated in previous versions of Photoshop with filter>distort>spherize (about -25%) and edit>transform>perspective.

| | | thanks nancy.
Paint Shop Pro also has a remove barrel distortion tool. dont think it's quite as extensive as in Photoshop, but it is there.

For the eye colour, I used the Dodge tool a couple of clicks on each eye to lighten them. I sized the Dodge brush a wee bit smaller than the iris so the edges of the iris still showed.

| | Personally, I think they are all sooo cool. But, I've narrowed it down to grafx , and fpellerins. Which one do you think I should use? And thanks about the advice for myspace!  |

| | | Ah, I've been out of RetouchPro Photo-Action for awhile, so here we go-- retouching isn't my strong suit, for sure. |
