This pic of Nemi looks a bit flat and 'uninspired' would like to see what the PS wizards here can do to it to make it pop.

Edit: Not sure how to send RAW files via email and am having difficulty properly resizing the TIFF to the proper size to mail it. If you want a larger size Please use the link P2P just posted, thanks.

I would ...

- warm up the skin tones a bit,
- selectively brighten the legs to show contours (I used S/H and paint on a soft light layer),
- and sharpen with Topaz Detail

All of which I did here ...

Thank You Nemi for emailing that. To anyone I ignored yesterday, I'm sorry.. it wasn't a very good day so I didn't spend a lot of time here. What constitutes a 'full size' image? I can't send a RAW file via email and the Tiff version is too big (35 MB in size and email limit is 25mb)....

I just created a new white layer same size as original, duped, filled one w a color sampled from your jeans,made a cpl copies/layers, played w blend modes, lens blur, lens vignette a bit, then selected u from the original and dragged you over. Then hit the 'fx' thing at the botom of the layer pallette (w u selected), chose drop shadow, played with sliders...done. Was mainly fiddling around.

For YOU I created 6 virtual copies in LR3, applied a different preset to each, then brought them into PS as layers in one document, then adjusted opacity/blend for each LR preset 'look'.

Was a small jpeg, so didn't worry too much about micro-detail...just practicicng w different LR/CS workflow ideas... smile

Long answer to a short question...but it is the answer.  smile

Maybe the extension has to be lower case. Let me change that and update the URL.

OK. Try the updated link above with lower case extension. Or if you already downloaded it, just rename it with a lower case extension and see if that works.

Photoshop will still open it with the upper case, but you'd have to go into Photoshop and use the Open File to do so if that extension is not associated with Photoshop or whatever program you use.

You may need to update your RAW file handling for your CS2. I had to do that when I got my T2i. I had an XTi that uses CR2 files and the T2i also uses CR2 files but apparently not the same exact format.

If you all want, I can convert this to a DNG file which should open in any version of Photoshop from version 7 on along with various other programs.

OK. Converted and uploaded....

That should work for any version of Photoshop back to at least version 7 and a lot of other programs.
