When did you take this shot of Kwench & Airrie Love It!

Think Kwench is saying "Give it Back" Airrie is Saying " What? I don't have it"
All we have to do is figure out what "it" is

Ah Ha, I shot that one when you were not looking!

Just kidding man, Begog posed Kwench with Airrie and I shot that one just as he finished while I was shooting around the room and it IS a good one for sure!

You are welcome there Sir!

I shoot photos in High Resolution and many of the last shots are Cropped closeups of the master shots that are much bigger. Some shots had 3 to 5 dolls in them and after making a copy, I cropped in close on one particular area to make an entire new photo! You have to shoot High Res to do it without doctoring up a photo with a program like Photoshop. All I use is Microsoft Office 2007 photo viewer that has few simple tools to crop, resize, rotate and adjust brightness, contrast and mid tones if needed which I rarely use that part. It is the easiest program to use for me as I am Photoshop stupid!

Here is an example of what I do. This shot is of Olivia as I shot it except for resizing it to post.

Here is a close crop of her left eye from that same shot. It is clear as it is because of shooting High Resolution with a good camera and lens using the right settings. These shots were all shot as Jpegs, not Raw and they are this good.

Hey, that photo looks great now Swan!

There were a lot of items to remove from that shot and must have taken a while to do it and get the surrounding area to look natural, Awesome!

I am glad to see that someone else is photoshop stupid like myself! I use MS Office 2010 Picture Manager. I tried using photoshop a little, but found it very frustrating.

Here Here there Sir, I agree wholeheartedly with you on that statement for sure as I have the same issues.

I have PS elements 11 and 12 and they won't even recognise the files from my D5300 either raw or Jpeg without going to Adobe and paying for an upgrade of some kind so I set them aside, too much trouble. I have Gimp but, never loaded it on the computer. I am not a computer wizard as I don't need or use them in my daily job or side work so I am not well versed in the various programs and I am a Johnny come lately in the computer arena.
