Tony I just want to tell you this is really a stunning picture. I love the high key,I tried so hard with the one of Kaylee but I couldn't figure out how to not make her so bleach out. One question did you change this to grey scale by the mode or did you turn it to B/W through the image adjustments before you started the dodging process. #1248626

Thank you Rita....i just decreased the saturation all the down then played with the levels sliders til I liked the way it looked. If you think it looks bleached out try using a lower opacity with the dodge tool. You could also try leaving the eyes alone or only dodging them at a very low opacity, I think that makes a big difference. #8456940Rita K. Connell March 15, 2010
