Hi Judy...

Always appreciate it when you stop in. I've been surfing your pBase gallery for the past 15 minutes. Your work is simply outstanding.

When are you going to produce your "how to" training DVD? Really.

Really ? I'm not into this type of thing normally, I mainly use the filters with photography. I did notice after I posted the image that the catch lights had disappeared from her eyes. I quite enjoyed doing it though, something new and interesting.

Re: Creative Portraits: Subtle Expressions by Dana Lane
I had forgotten how to do this. It took a few tries and some serching for my notes, but I finally figured it out.

Thanks for the compliment. I used the same technique for the tribute to Julia a while back. The notes were buried in a folder I don't use much. I download tutorials and videos for everything. They're all saved on my external hard drive. Since I'm not that well organized, it sometimes takes me quite a while to find something. One of these days.... But that's another story.
