Hello Folks,

Repeatedly, I see our friends having problems understanding and making the best use of Raw Conversion. There is actually a lot that can be done, while converting a raw file. If you can make the best of the tools available, you actually don't need to do much in post processing at all.

Here you may read the rest of the story if interested.

This was done in Photoshop CS2. I may at some point do a similar interface tutorial for CS3 if the interest level happened to be high enough.

had fun doing some extra fine tuning all in black dragon without any post edits.

Happy Silly Saturday, y'all!

By request, this is the original raw file. The only thing I've done was convert to jpg and resize it for Flickr.

So, I've finally decided to enter a "Next Top Model" contest, namely because there's finally one where we won't see masses of editing! Yay! Plus, since Elliot was my first doll since I started collecting as an adult, she was definitely my first choice to enter. Plus she's loosely based on a good friend of mine, so it's nice to have a bit of inspiration.

Name: Elliot Adams

Age: 23

Hometown: Manchester, United Kingdom.

Employer: Student, studying a BA Hons Degree in Creative Writing & English Literature.

Aspirations: Although modelling isn't her first choice of careers, it's something she's always been curious about. She usually doesn't believe her friends and family when they tell her that she has the potential, but after being pestered for months, she's finally given in. Her long-term dream has always been to be a Lecturer focusing on helping adults with learning difficulties (But this might be a bit of fun along the way).

Bio: Elliot is a very reserved person, who likes to keep herself to herself, she's never been one for being surrounded by a massive group of friends, she'd much rather just have a couple of closer mates, just to chill with.

As previously mentioned, she has little self-belief and doesn't realise what potential she really has.

Enjoy! :)

the plane we took to Culebra was so small they asked each of us what we weighed before devising the seating plan. There were only ten seats on the plane and the one across from me was the only empty one. I had no hand to hold.
