I removed mine, I was on facebook and it said she celebrated with friends yesterday, so I got confused.

I did celebrate with some friends last night with dinner, cake & scrapbooking. But...

Oh, and any tips on editing out chin hair....the girl from the senior shoot had quite a few on her chin.

Good job on the G'mae Tiff!

Oh and those chin hairs.... just grab the paint brush feature on PS and draw in a marker-esque goatee

Nice...I really like the texture....I wish I knew how to do that.

A while back I posted a link on how to use textures. Of course I can't find it now. Cat may or may not still have it). It's not hard to do...the hardest part is learning when and when not do to them. At least that's still how it is for me.

I use clone stamp for hairs and for blemishes. If it doesn't work, I got a cool action from mcp (it's a skin action and "miracle powder" really takes care of things like that...very nice. (btw. her eye doctor/dentist and miracle powder (from the magic skin set...I don't like any of the others in that set but the powder is amazing) actions, I highly recommend them. I bought them when they were $24 each and they've gone up to $38 and $42 so....but I use them constantly on my people shots)

I'd like to check that out but to be honest, I don't know what mcp is and google isn't helping.

I think she's talking about this: http://mcpactions.com/​main.html

It doesn't work with PS Elements.

Thanks! I have CS3 anyway so I'm not worried about that....

I haven't done a lot of action shopping as I've been trying the DIY thing.

Sorry Tiffany, yes that's what I was talking about (thanks Chris).


The eye doctor and dentist actions really work so well for the eyes & teeth...w/o looking fake. Best I've ever used and I've got several other actions to do the same thing but like those. Best money I've spent on actions there. The skin one is a matter of preference. I am not fond of piece by piece cloning out razor rash and blemishes...when I've got a case where there's bad of both (at a wedding) and the B&G want them gone...well that's what I use. You can vary the strength so it doesn't look like their skin is plastic but it does a nice job of smoothing.

And guess what!! I've just make my biggest non-wedding photo sale. 18 8x10 shots of my shots from the CG shoot were purchased today. AND Dan's made his first sale ever (non-wedding) because 2 of his were purchased as well!! We didn't make much at all because the price list on these is very low so that it's no hardship for the families to buy if they want....but VERY COOL HUH?

WOOHOO!!!!

Hi, quick partial catch-up we have 2 seniors to shoot this afternoon before the colors are gone.

mtnphtgrphr wrote in post #6604652
I'm totally not caught up this is a run through really quick. Had to rush up to my mom & dad's house. Dad was out working in a cell phone dead zone so mom called me when she fell and hurt herself. We're back from the urgent care with 7 stitches above her eye, a broken toe and some other scrapes and bangs.... Could've been much worse! So I'm off again....

Ouch, give her my best. I'm sure more aches and pains made themselves known today. Hope she mends quickly .

sevillafox wrote in post #6604697
Here's the only shot I have processed from my shoot yesterday. 30+ to go....

Very nice Tiff, what gorgeous blue eyes.

puddlepirate44 wrote in post #6604775
I do the same thing. "I drew that? Weird."

Last night I finished it up and noticed Cat Lea was in the pub, when she should have still been in prison. I was amazed at her ability to be in two places at once. Then I was trying to remember if that was discussed when the series ran.

Permagrin wrote in post #6604864
Ask Becky when she comes on.

I don't think it looks like cinnamon and I do think it looks adorable. It is redder than we've seen Permie, but; it looks fine. IMKIAO

My wife wants one of those popcorn makers.

Just saw an endcap full at ShopKo. $30 for the maker and a little square bowl red stripped like a popcorn box.

The voting in of this measure will end the ongoing debate over the annunciation of the word "bokeh" to be BOE-kah.

• __X_ Yes, let's just end this.
  
• ____ No, because I'm argumentative and fundamentally wrong.

Will finish catching up later. Bye.
