The two landscape trials are very nicely done! Of course so was the original!

Mindforge - both edits are well done but the HDR is excellent.
My next podcast is an HDR one. Any chance you could describe what you did here in a bit of detail? Many thanks!

Yeah. Let me do one and track every action that I keep. Alot of the time I play around.. hit undo.. play around.. hit undo... until I get something I like. I generally know the direction I want to go but I will do another of the same image and track every step.

How much time do I have? I am right in the middle of an art project for my graduate degree.

1. Corel Painter Essentials 4
2. Impressionist setting
3. Corel PSP2X
4. Image>frame>lavender matte
5. Infranview resize resample 700pixels

Time spent - roughly 10 minutes
I chose to do this alternative format due to the out of focus eyes and over exposure on the (viewer's right) cheek.
I love the softness it lends to this already beautiful gal!

If it's killer hard no worries. The hdr podcast will likely come out this week (hoping for thursday) so If I have something by tues or wed, I can include it.

thx!

Hi folks, I'm having trouble making this scene pop. It was very overcast and wet snow was falling. What would you do?

maybe convert to B/w and then amp up the contrast a wee bit - or push in curves.
