Terry - I see exactly what you mean, but would it not look odd if the skin on the face were smooth but the skin on the arms, hands etc were not?

I also think you use a soft edged brush. "Skill in photography is acquired by practice and not by purchase" Percy W Harris

Mar 08, 2007 15:11 | #8 For a skin-improvement, it's way overdone. For a soft filter look, it's quite nice. Sharpening the edges will probably make it look like a poorly done magazine shot. I'd leave it as it is. ~ Clint :: Galleries

Mar 08, 2007 21:20 | #13 The first one reminded me of the high-school portrait effect they used in the 60's. I like the original better. I'd just bump the exposure and fix the red skin tone. She's very pretty as is.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. ~ Clint :: Galleries

butcha27 Goldmember  More info | Mar 08, 2007 21:28 | #14 I think the first one was just a tad over softened? Which method did you use? maybe a little les gaussian blur and it'd be fine (if thats how u did it?) Here's a good tutorial on it for you. https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=171753 Rob
