amazing pic, though I think if it's a Vogue cover shot, it probably need not be critiqued.

[csm328]

It's for her college art Photo Shop project. I took the pic and she did the PP.

[T Kubik]

LOL, sorry I didn't even notice the date, sorry!

[csm328]

Hey, it's a good thing if you don't notice the date :)

Looks great, the only thing I would say is change the Vogue sign for something a little more high resolution, or try using smart blur to remove the artifacts. Otherwise it looks amazing, well done!!!

[csm328]

Lost a lot of detail in the downsize for Web. The file that's going to print is a couple of hundred MB.

[BoeingBonkers]

Ahh ofcourse, taking that in, I cant fault it. Well Done!

Just did a search for 'artifacts' and, aside from ancient egyptian etc etc, I'm missing what you mean. When you refer to artifacts, what are you refering to? I've seen some of your pics and they are great so your comments are important to me.

[Beau Hudspeth]

Ohhh ... gotta love mag covers. Just an FYI, if you need logos and such for work like thins, HERE (http://web.brandsoftheworld.com/) is an EXCELLENT resource!

Here is the one for VOGUE (http://web.brandsoftheworld.com/search/?query_id=3121355&page=1&mtype=&brand_id=5102)!

Keep up the great work! (You and you PP artist! :))

Artifacts are a common term used when describing the little weirdnesses that you get in photographs in general and in heavy JPG compression in particular - the blotchy/blocky yuckyness. In this case, they are all around the text area.

I love corsets......

nice photo. and PP

[thrumyeye]

This is a nice photo and her PP is great as well.

Only thing I noticed is a strange mottling on her left arm - almost as if the arm had opacity and you can see the blotches of the wall through it...

[csm328]

yeah, the arm doesn't have those blotches in the high res pic. she, litterally, has thin skin and was a bit cold and since the lighting was set to cast the shadow to her left, i got stuck with it like that. the lighting on the right arm worked great. we could PS out the marks on the left arm but it would look hideous. as it was, a fair bit was removed.

Thanks for that link Beau.

[Beau Hudspeth]

Thanks for that link Beau.No problem!
