Some RAW files to play with.
Hello, my name is Sean and I'm a control Freak.  In an effort to learn to relinquish control of my images, and see how others might take an image I've created and run with it, I've uploaded a couple Raw files to the link below. I encourage creativity and look forward to seeing what you do with them. I do ask the following: - Please post a small internet version of your finished image in this thread before posting it to your profile. - Any images you wish to use in your port please credit me. - Be willing to share with me the full high-res finished image at my request. (a jpeg or tiff, not your PSD file). - You can not sell the image in any way shape or form. The link to the zip file containing the Raw Files. http://www.sendspace.com/file/g5iozy What's in the file       The last two were shot on a grey background to be cut out later in post. Cheers, Sean Jul 24 10 04:20 pm Link These two caught my eye. Probably not up to your standards but I had to give them a try. Loved the location, outfit and props. One color and one black and white   Jul 24 10 05:24 pm Link Cool. Definitely like the first one. Did you use portraiture to do the skin smoothing? I've found that with those particular images the wood is very close to her skin and also takes on the smoothing. I did it on a separate layer and maked out the areas I didn't want smoothed.

Also did numerous D&B Jul 24 10 05:33 pm Link Am I the only one getting broken images that are posted in the OP as samples? I did download the zip though, nice files. Working on one now. Jul 24 10 05:40 pm Link Ryan Rowland wrote: They aren't broken I had to copy and paste them. I guess you can't hot link from that site. Jul 24 10 05:41 pm Link Ryan Rowland wrote: No, it's not you. for some reason there's an issue with the file hosting site. I'll keep checking back and trying to get it fixed. Jul 24 10 05:42 pm Link Bernie Browder wrote: I hot link all the time, I think smug mug is having issues. Jul 24 10 05:42 pm Link HA...it was a problem with my gallery settings. Sorry for that. Should be fixed now. Jul 24 10 05:44 pm Link Dragon Ink Photography wrote: There they go. Jul 24 10 05:45 pm Link Bernie Browder wrote: No worries. You can still use a mask on your adjustment layer and paint out the areas that you don't want smoothed. But the KISS principle is something I try to stick to as well. Sometimes I don't succeed. lol. Jul 24 10 05:54 pm Link Thanks for the great images. I wanted to do a portrait so I cropped a bit. Hope you don't mind!

I'm enjoying seeing the differences between what they started as and where they went. Usually I'm really close to the process to see that instant difference. Jul 25 10 06:06 am Link Took a little unpacking break. Love the images, hope my post shows up and hope I can find time to do another one. ok to use in my MM port?  Not sure why I joined right b4 a major move - just part of tying up loose ends I guess. ok fingers crossed my photo displays :-) then back to boxes.

I got this message: Sorry, the free service is at full capacity. Jul 26 10 08:02 am Link same here, cant download Jul 26 10 08:17 am Link I was just able to get to it. The free download slots were probably full before. Jul 26 10 09:54 am Link Download works just fine Jul 26 10 04:27 pm Link  Jul 26 10 04:48 pm Link  Jul 26 10 06:19 pm Link My try.

I usually make sure my images span the entire greyscale spectrum, but I like the subdued tones of this one. I may have to consider doing that more.
