I am a road block on my how to create a pin up. At the 3:52 mark in this demo I don't know how to do the correct key stroke command to load the luminosity.

I have a MacBook Pro with CS5 suite. Need help with the MAC command for this layer. Thanks in advance MM forum.

I was stuck there too, and found the answer in the comments on that page.

Use Command-Option-2 instead of Command-Option-Tilde

It's simple, but it simply does not give results close to anything like a Vargas painting. Like it or not, that's not what it resembled.

Im glad so many email later that people disagree with you

This is a Varga girl. A vintage pin up. Feel free to show us how you have managed to duplicate this effect and look.

Take a look at this one, 18+  https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26894188 and compare it with the original in my port. I just used smudge stick in Elements 4 and played with the settings a bit.

Dude I am not going to play your "lets see who we can get upset and get themselves brigged today" game. Im sure there are others you can play that game with for your daily quota. Clients like what I do. Clients call it "Vargas like." I enjoy them. Enjoy your day. By the way my images doesn't have yellow stains on them. yuck

From Seinfeld, "They called it a Mom and Pop store for 40 years and they wasn't even a Mom and Pop?"

"You can't call that a homemade apple pie cause it don't look like the one I make."

" He sells posters of his Giger aliens," yeah but they don't look anything like the one giger created." Well that would be stealing his style now wouldn't it.

This started because YOU gave out bad advice.

Tsk. Im surprise non of everyone said "In lightroom turn up the "fill light" and then the "Saturation" or in PS Camera Raw- "Turn up the "fill light" and then the saturation"

It's simple and looks just like a Vargus

It looks NOTHING like a Vargas pinup or his style. . Nada, zero, zip, el zilcho.

If you had posted that your method gave whatever kind of results, but that they were NOTHING like a Vargas, fine, but you tried to call the sky purple. We just pointed it out and then you went sideways.

Work speaks for itself, so i have no reason to bother with you again, please go back to selling your "Vargus" images. We would hate to disrupt you further...
