Practice Session

Lauren came in the other day for some Prom Pics and I asked her to come back with her dress.

I am not sure how I feel about the processing you have been doing lately.

They may feel just slightly green to me.

But I certainly admire the fact that you are open to trying new things.

Hey Kevin, Thanks for the comments. I don't notice the green here, however I have seen that elsewhere. I've been using the new Nik Silver Effects Pro 2 softwear and haven't really explored it yet. I tend to like my tone better when I desaturate and then just add red and yellow.

Ernst:

Have you been using SEP2's toning tool? I'd be happy to give pointers on how to use some of the more powerful features.

Andy Biggs also just did a Master Class with Nik which is available through their Learn section. He gave some great instruction on how to extract the most from the plug-in.

I don't shill for many plug-ins. SEP2 just happens to be my favorite.

PS. I like the images. Numer three has an attractive tonal range and I like the grain structure chosen.

that last pic is superb

[carrbowl]

this is an interesting PP..I wonder how they would print on metallic? I'm thinking they might be really cool.

The third picture gives an old world nostalgic feel. Beautiful.
