Re: Creative portraits: Alisa

Just trying to get over my hatred for smudging (my poor mouse finger; ). Did some ACE enhancements along with CherylH's Fingerpaint1 preset (with mods) to start things off). Also used AAA Fotofix filter to enhance the image at the end.

Re: Creative portraits: Alisa

Lyle, if you're smudging with the mouse I don't blame you for hating it. I shudder to think about it.

But I really like what you've been doing with it, so I guess your suffering is worthwhile.

Re: Creative portraits: Alisa

Thanks for the pic Danny.
I did so much with this, and threw most of it away, I can't remember all the steps.
