yeah well I guess thats why I dont edit on my laptop... while enjoying these... Ill have to tweak some things.

Never fails, every time i edit on a laptop i end up doing it again on my work PC.

I love the name "Jack Satan" Is there a "Jill Angel?"

That's the name of the girl you're trying to bring home

The second one *does* look a little underexposed on my calibrated monitor.

The first one...well, I can't really see ANYthing wrong with the first one because I'm so completely enraptured by that drink!! Good night, that LOOKS and sounds sooooo good...

Maybe I am just crazy but I see a blue cast.

 

[leeroix]

Ill mess with that one too...

 

[runnah]

There, whew that was bugging me.

^now that I see yours compared to mine, I see. However, Im still not sold on the background color. When I have the proper files tomorrow Ill give it a whirl too.

Alright, thanks runnah. I went about the processing differently. It was my first real try at focus stacking and I neglected to adjust in RAW first. I just batched in Photoshop before any adjustments. For these, I made a preset, and adjusted all 4 images for each shot and then stacked. Are these better?

Ah. Too bad. Mi-lady has just left the bath, and she's in the mood... Guess will have to improvise. Dang. where is a hibiscus when you need one? Nemmind. Found a substitute.

Pgriz, you crack me up!

The first image is fantastic. The font is perfect for this type of drink, love the DOF, and the vignetting. Very nice. I would keep the look semi-consistent for the menu. The second image font is too girly.

 

[leeroix]

^ Yeah. These particular drinks are only me playing around at my house. They are drinks that are some of my favorites from restaurants in San Francisco and Oakland. I thought you guys would like to know how to make some The drink menu will have different, more typical - cheaper drinks - because it is a sports bar. (Margarita, Mai Tai, Beer, etc...)

I loved the earlier shots too, especially the second edit on the first? But this one looks and sounds perfect to me.
