A Little Help For Photoshop

 

 I recently photographed Elena  at the old concrete plant in Fort Valley. It

has become a favorite place to shoot. Love the shapes and wonderful backgrounds available,

and seems like the late afternoon sky is always great for photos.

 

I have always done all my editing, enhancing and post production effects in Photoshop.

Tried Portrait Professional and several other programs, especially for portrait/glamour work, but

never really liked to results. Always  did the long drawn-out methods in Photoshop for smoothing skin, removing blemishes and making my subjects glow.

I have found some software that I really like. I have been playing with NIK's Color Efex Pro4 for several months now, and it just keeps getting better.  It is a pluin that will work with Photoshop, Elements and LightRoom.

 Some of the filters probably will never be used by me, but several of them get a workout every shoot.

It has caused a huge change in my work flow.
