I think I'm starting to get the hang of this LucisArt software - well sometimes I get it right, sometimes horribly wrong.
I've been experimenting with a shot taken in Edinburgh at the Royal Show and think I've just about got it right here. Some will disagree and hate the falseness of it but that's ok - it's all part of my learning process!

Hello everyone and thank you all! It's great when I suddenly hit on the right combination of plugins and wotnot and bingo it seems to come together 
I too like the keyrings Rachel - neat aren't they? Not that I'd be inclined to lug so many around - the camera kit is more than enough!
I so like the looks on both their faces as they gaze at one another.
A wonderful capture.
What do you think to Edinburgh getting the Best palce to live in Brtain award then???

Great work
Don
Thank you again everyone
Graff - this LucisArt stuff is an excellent bit of software that I fear I use too much. Here it is LucisArt. Not too pricey in the grand scheme of things and I'm very pleased I bought it! I believe they do a 30 day trial so give it a go!
Hi Alan - thanks for taking a look!
With people I keep the doses of Whyeth pretty low - blow the image up in the Lucis window and keep an eye out for grey patches appearing. It is worst with pink/flesh/red and yellows - other colours don't seem to suffer from the dreaded grey splotches. I tend to apply Whyeth in several small doses wiht these colours.
More often than not I apply some noise reduction afterwards - I use Paint Shop Pro mostly and just use their bog standard digital camera noise reduction - it does the job so I've not bothered trying anything else. Very often I'll follow up with another gentle application of lucis or simply sharpening.
I'm afraid it is somewhat trial and error but hopefully I've given you some ideas. Certainly young faces work best - my year old niece for example - I wouldn't go near a photo of myself with it unless I'm wearing a mask (as per my last mask picture in my portfolio!)
My all means let me know if I can be of any further help - I'm always happy to pass on what little knowledge I have.
Alison
