Better color corrections
Choosing Image>Adjustments>Auto Color automatically color-corrects your image. For better results, however, choose Image>Adjustments>Curves, click the Options button, and use the following settings: Find Dark & Light Colors, Snap Neutral Midtones, Shadow Clip .05, and Highlight Clip .05. Then turn on the Save as defaults checkbox and click OK. The next time you use Auto Color, you should get better results.

  I downloaded the 30 day trial of PSCS2, but I am afraid to use it, cause I am afraid I might like it too much and it just is not in the budget right now...so there it sits on my desktop, next to PS7, not gettin any attention...lol

thanks for the new thread suzy

  Interesting Suzy, I'll have to try that. Dawn, Congratulations. You and Tonya should both be having a lot of fun with that one. Tonya, I understand what you mean about the budget. Unfortunately, all the toys we all want or need are expensive ones.

sorry everyone! I don't know why it did this, I signed in already but it's not letting me do anything. One last try.

  Thanks Suzy! That helps make my images less blue when I use auto color... which was always the result in the past.

  OMG, ya'll are gonna love CS2! BTW, Liza mentioned she picked up the Art of Photographing Women book and she should have it soon if she doesn't already - I'm gonna say it again, and I'm sure she'll back me up when she gets it - YOU HAVE TO GET THIS BOOK! It' s Kevin Ames' "Photoshop CS the Art of Photographing women" - it's SOOO good!

  It's not new, though a new edition will be out in August. It's by Kevin Ames, it's called PHOTOSHOP CS: THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHING WOMEN. It's exactly what it says - it tells about how to shoot pictures in different situations, it tells how to take excellentpictures of women,and it tells how to edit those pictures in photoshop cs - how to make the colors perfect,reduce and add noise, how to do black and white, how to shoot on a green screen....it covers pin ups, swimwear, and lingerie.Plus, it's all about the "non-destructive" methods - for example,using mask tools instead of the eraser. It talks about how to streamline the workflow with actions - for example, I anti-alias, preliminary sharpen, remove noise, and add my digital copy right info all in one step. It's like 13-15 chapters of this stuff, including photoshop gallery and digital proofing. I paid $36 for mine I think. Hastings told Liza there was a new one out in August. Worth every penny.

thanks for the new thread Suzy! beautiful portrait!

i like the effects you used Dawn!

here is just a simple thing I did in photoshop (cs2) been playing a lot in an effort to learn! all I did on this one was desaturate, create a new layer, color in the bear, flatten the image and crop just a bit.
