I took a billion shots and only two were quite good - this one and the further-out one although for that one the focus there was soft on the face (d'oh!). Not so noticeable on the shrunk-down version on the page... but... a bit noticeable. I've read a bunch and got advice from all over and have diffuse light and multiple light sources and a tripod and (basically) no excuse. That's all. :)
I really need to be *looking* more at how the composition comes up. AND learn a bit more about how to focus the camera better - maybe READ the MANUAL for instance!! :D
Just a total stranger passing by. Forgive me for reacting like this, but..
OH SHIZ, YOU DON'T HAVE A SHARPEN TOOL?
Srsly? Your PS needs updating. Hrmmm, there's a crack code for PS CS2 somewhere on the net, I just forgot where it actually is. I'll try to find it if I can~ <3
Have you tried using the sponge tool in making the color look lighter? It works well, and just set the opacity to what you desire.
I have a sharpen *filter*. I dunno even what my version IS - oh here: Photoshop 7.
I will upgrade my PS I promise! I paid full-price last time but as I'm not currently a highly-paid professional that option is... harder to justify. I'll make do! ;)
Friending good! I've read a little Bleach in Shonen Jump (and liked it) but that mag is seriously ticking me off with chopping and changing its content so I might give it the flick soon (or at least write them a cross letter).

You do have the sharpen tool. It's on the toolbox, in the same option with the smudge tool and blur tool. If you need any help, I'm here. :D
New friend. <3
