My daughter who was recently engaged asked me to take some pics of them for the newspaper. Been a while since I really played with the camera. Here are a few I liked except for the flagpole in the back ground.

Fantastic!! Yes, that's what I needed to do. My pp sucks. Just haven't had the time to sit down & learn.

Don't leave me hanging here........Care to share your methods

alittle noise reduction on both and sharpened.Also I cloned out the flag pole. The first one I reduced the green tint like 5% and did some vignetting. Other than that I think I added a touch more contrast. Whitened the teeth some. If I worked with the original it would look better than the reduced sized one.

I hate to admit it, but I have cs2, cs3 & lightroom (1st edition).
I have done some pp, but just never seem to have the time to sit down & learn.

Your improvements are great & basic I'm sure. I have to make it a point to just make some time, & learn some basic pp. I have a few bucks invested and am only using these programs to a small fraction of their full potential.

Anybody looking to take me under their wing???

In lightroom2 you can soften the skin while retaining realistic baby skin textured. It will retain pores and wrinkes and you can vary the amount of "softness" simply be moving a tool bar. This tool will blow away the smudge or layer method of smoothing the skin.

How does "editing ok" work? I did a quick edit by hitting the photo with recovery, noise reduction (luminance and colour), bumped up the saturation, upped the contrast a hair and soften the skin in a matter of 5 minutes. Lightroom2 is freaky powerful.

I'll use cs3 for cloning and thats about it now. I'm still getting the hang of cs3 but lightroom is so self explanitory that you can post process in lightening speed.
