i need to invest in lightroom lol

It's worth its weight in gold! I like version 2 much better.

 

[TomHarmon]

Yeh the second version is much better, but it could use a little processing (maybe some contrast). Just watch you highlights and exposure when your post processing.

Here is a slightly different take:



And no.. I didn't do any skin smoothing... just a light noise reduction!

Or maybe :

was that done in lightroom or shop? how?

 

[JenR]

She is a cutie!! The processing is MUCH better in your second version. I would warm her up a smidge and up the exposure a tad.

Photoshop.... I just ran a quick Noiseware default removal on her, adjusted brightness and contrast a bit, and then just added some light to the eyes.

LR could do that too. I think it is 150$? you can download a free 30 day trial too.

ya i downloaded it, this is what i came up with, tried the noise reduction helped alot



on a side not how to i post larger (quality) pics?

 

[Granddad]

Oodles better! But still an awful lot of fence - Try cropping in portrait orientation.

As for the size, if I click on the photo (and then click again) I can get the original size filling my screen, so no worries there.
