This is a shot I took in Southern Mo. last fall.. I saturated it quite a bit and then buzzed it slightly.. I used PS Elements 2.0..

Oh and I added the romance filter from VP with slight smart blur to smooth out the grain from the romance.. Sorry.. It's late.. Forgot all the steps...lol

This is a shot that I took in my kitchen with a white curtain that I bought a the BX....I used brightness/contrast to whiten it up a lot. Then I cloned some of the lines and distracters out. Used the glamour filter from VP to give it the look it has now. Major overhaul I tell ya!

I want to play too!!!:) This is an image of a bride I took at her wedding a few weeks ago. The room we were in was HORRIBLE with light. NO windows & AWFUL lighting!! I turned the image b&w using the ambience filter from VP. Adjusted levels/curves/brightness/contrast. Used the dodge tool to really make the background white. Used the blur tool for her face & then used the USM & then sharpened just her eyes.
