A little help from Portrait Pro


	A little help from Portrait Pro --- Just a touch of digital darkroom here. I was playing with the latest version of the 64-bit Studio version of Portrait Professional. I wasn't going for a subtle improvement, as I normally do. I went for a glamour look. ------ This was a carousel shot from the Red Cross Red Ball on March 8. I'll show the "before" look in the discussion area. --- Michelle Alton

This shot shows how the photo looked when I posted it on the Red Cross (SEPA) Flickr site. I started off just trying to remove the facial "hot" spots. The two ladies looked perfect fine otherwise. But, there ARE other possibilities, and I really didn't take it nearly as far as it could go in the first "after" shot.

I suspect the two young ladies like the "after" shot the best! Nice one!

Wonderful image of these two lovely Ladies Michelle, your DD work certainly made you the equivalent of a make-up artist. Very well done!!!

The portrait work on the faces look great, Michelle! The color of the light on the faces (flash) doesn't match the light on their bodies, though, which look a little purple. Maybe a second step would be a local adjustment of white balance on the bodies. Fun project!

Bravo! I use that program ALL the time and I highly recommend it to everyone. What a difference and thank you for showing the before and after. I really like that.

My FAV button isn't working tonight or I'd have pushed it 3 times in your gallery tonight!! At least BP is up and running again.

I still miss being able to post the type of camera we and others are using.
