A fill light would be nice even at low power to create catchlight. other than that it's nice.

Or just use longer exposure to have the face lit, even though the background will be overexposed.

Thanks! Next time I'll try a bounce or a fill flash. Good idea. I'm still learning :)

Thanks! I guess blown out backgrounds aren't a bad thing, then? I was told "NEVER DO THAT!".. But I guess rules are meant to be broken.

Enjoy it guys.. well worth the cash.
You can create endless of filters from the existing ones, check "favourites" tab drag in a photo, pick a filter or choose #toolkit" and start experimenting.
You can crop, cut, contrast and such on the "adjust" tab, and on "borders" you have frames of different kinds.

90% of the filters i use, i made myself... but there are alot of good ones out of the box.
