First pic with EF 28-135 IS - Wifey

Got home and had a play with the 28-135 IS, too tired to take any more pics however here's one of the wife watching television with the IS enabled.

Anyway we can get the original in it's full glory? I'll give it a go. I'm alright with Photoshop.

Congrats on the purchase. I just got the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS for a trip I'm taking this week. It's awesome! Post some more shots!

Here's the original picture for anyone that wants to have a crack at airbrushing etc.

Isshinharu - thankyou my friend! A friend has the EF-S 17-85 IS....it's a great lense and in the right hands can produce some really cool results.

Thanks - Sunny.

I didn't see the full sized picture before I gave your photo a go in Photoshop, so this was done on the smaller one. All I did was use the healing brush to smooth out her skin tone, the blur tool to soften her skin, played with the midtone levels just a little (about + 8 ), upped the saturation a bit, applied USM and saved.

She's a beautiful woman, so there wasn't much that needed to be done! Hope you like how it turned out.

Thanks BeccaNH - it's a fantastic edit. She says many thanks for your comments (blushingly).

Bests - Sunny.

Whew! I'm glad you liked it. I'm always MUCH more nervous editing someone elses photos than posting my own!

I love it and she is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!

Thanks for cloning out that light

Beautiful shot BTW KUDOS to the 28-135 USM IS, which is often maligned
I love mine

joayne

In that case post some of yourself.

Sony23 (Bruce) - That's awesome mate!.

Titus213 - Thanks for sharing those with us mate, will have a look in more detail when I get home from work tonight.

ronosmena (Ron) - Unfortunately I can not see your image? Perhaps there is a problem with the hosting?

Zacker - The IS is cool however people put it down as they expect it to be as good as a tripod but agreed it's a cool feature and the only the reason I replaced my 28-105 USM with the 28-135 IS.

Thanks - Sunny.
