Good skin tones, excellent work. Chris
A Great Portrait really well done.

Love the inherent 80's-ness in this 
Thanks Phil, Kelvin, Karen and Tony.
Tony - although I don't profess to know what I'm doing (lol) I do know that Barfen film processed at home at that time gave me better results than any of the usual brands. You could push it, pull it, shake it all about and it still came up trumps even with my hit-and-miss kitchen sink processing!!!

Cool,
I wonder what she looks like now?? Maybe you could put up a photo of her in the same pose as she is today!

Thank you, Brian. For interest's sake perhaps should have said this was scanned on my Minolta Scan Dual 4 and, I've just realised, at 4x sampling. For archiving purposes that's OK but I meant to go back and re-scan the better images at a higher rate. Too late now for this one.

I used Neatimage which although is meant to reduce noise in a picture I find it also smooths out the skin tones. I then used the healing brush in places to get a better effect and then duplicated the background layer. To this new layer I applied a soft filter, one of the Virtualphotographer range, and a layer mask. Using a small soft brush with a low opacity I painted on the mask and brought back a touch of sharpness to the eyes. For the border I applied a thin stroke about 2 pixels, then increased the canvas size and then another stroke of 4 or 6 pixels. Simple really.

Thanks Melly - I'm just sat here looking at the mods and thinking mine is "pants" now - too harsh.

ps I've only just realised that Rab had put a note on my "pole vaulter" shot re boarding. Anyone's welcome to have a board with us - bearing in mind we us a smallish, quite well-used pond. But it's fun just the same. May's usually nice enough to start although we've been known to be on the water in March!! Brrrrr......
