If so, duplicate your layer and apply a little gaussian blur from the filter menu. You then can erase the top layer to show eyes, lips and any other detail you require. Adjustments to lightness can also be made in the "copy layer. Canon 600D, 40D, 350D + 50mm 1.8, Sigma 18-200is, 70-200 2.8DG and 70-300. Still have A1 and 300 EOS and must get out my Rollei TLR sometime

I haven't used the eraser since I discovered non-destructive Layer Masks. Does PSE have them? FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...

Photoshop CS is very expensive but remember it is a professional tool and if you want to make this your living . . . The latest Elements has most that you will need for now and the tutorials will apply although items may be in different menu positions to the full photoshop. Canon 600D, 40D, 350D + 50mm 1.8, Sigma 18-200is, 70-200 2.8DG and 70-300. Still have A1 and 300 EOS and must get out my Rollei TLR sometime

I am wanting to get Photoshop CS or CS2, but I am afraid to spend the money. Right now I don't have the confidence in my work and don't want to spend the money if I won't get anywhere with it. Thanks I will think about that. Sarah www.seibertphotography.com

Go on the Adobe site and that will tell you the improvements. Providing you are happy with your RAW conversion programme even photoshop 7 which you can pick up cheaply would be a great improvement over your Elements 2. CS2 will deal very well with your unconverted RAW files and I think is better than the Canon software. Canon 600D, 40D, 350D + 50mm 1.8, Sigma 18-200is, 70-200 2.8DG and 70-300.

I am going to be taking some college classes and there is an editing class so I want it by then so I can practice at home. Thanks a bunch Sarah www.seibertphotography.com

Copy the addresses and start a file for your long dark evenings - or don't you have them in Vagas? These and other tutorials you will pick up from your postings are more thorough than most books.
