This sure has been an enjoyable process, so thanks to everyone who commented. Love the graphics Racer and Whitelotus!
Mr. Newt! Congrats on your new family member
I'd *love* to see pictures of this project!!!
Mike, I only have Aperture and it doesn't do much outside of the basic RAW conversion. I can adjust highlights, shadows, sharpness of course.It also has brushes to dodge and burn etc. But it doesn't do layers. I was thinking of getting Topaz as PS for a Mac is 800.00, but I sure wish I had it and knew how to use it.
Marc, it is the Pentax 35mm f/2.4 and I have a polarizer on it... It is an inexpensive version of the f/2.8, takes awesome photos, but doesn't do macro.
Well, I think I need a bit of distance from these and then I will submit to the PEG and see what happens. I still welcome now or then any critical feedback to help me better my craft.
Thanks again.
