Thanks for looking and commenting. Yes, an hours worth of magic and hand cramps especially on the last shot.

I am a little sad that the weekend forecast is wet that is the only time I get to shoot.

BTW, I am going to carry the Hama Style Hoods in 52, 55 and 62mm.

Wow! Great work! My biggest difficulty in Photoshop (Elements 4.0) is doing the kind of matching job you did and making it look natural. I suspect I am just not patient enough yet.

I am curious about the greenish cast in the background of the 2nd shot. What caused that and why did it go away in the 3rd shot?

The pictures you are viewing are of Jen Chapin daughter of Harry. I attended her concert last weekend and am working on the pictures. Many people have asked what I mean by fixing up pictures in PP so instead of just working on the one image I saved some earlier versions. You have a good eye and monitor. The green second shot was caused by a level adjustment that sometimes backfires. I saw the problem and rebalanced the color in the final shot. The second shot took 20 minutes to fix the third 1 hour yes you need patience. Thanks for looking and commenting.

Lovelife I know very little about PP & am constantly amazed by what experts such as youself can do. I am intreagued by one of the changes you made from image 2 to 3. Looking at your removal of the black area on her shoulder how did you replace it with what looks like actual dress fabric that even has folds & shadows in it. Surely this bit of image was not in the original shot so where did the extra bit of image come from ?
