Senior: Chelsea - 09-02-2010, 02:31 AM


Chelsea has such a great attitude and was willing to try anything crazy I recommended and was ready to step into the ring and wrestle a goat. You can't tell that she's been sick and still on medication just to make her portrait session. No goat wrestling though.

When processing these images, I never really stop to think about running actions or presets. I've pretty much gone away from that simply because they look generic after a while and would cause more delay tweaking them. For an ADD person like me, any small delay is instant death in a workflow. (Thanks to Facebook...)




But it's interesting to see what I did before compressing the layers and saving it into a JPG. So, this time I forced myself to slow down and name my layers. Before you click on the link, care to guess how many layers or what I did to the image?

Here's one from the studio shot on Denny's Freedom Cloth. It has a official name but I call it the orange waffle cone. f5.6 to blur out the details.

Jordan, I always enjoy seeing your work and this is no exception. Thanks for sharing your processing. Great image to begin with but after is super great!

My old Lucis Art doesnt work with 64 bit CS4. Dissappointing because I prefer that. But Topaz does what I want after some tweaks and at a significantly lower pricepoint.
