Yes, this is a perfect photo. So beautiful and cute. #3021582

Alisha L. Ekstrom July 12, 2006

Thank you Robyn, Nicole, Carolyn & William...

Robyn..dup the layer..added slight gaussian blur, brought back the eyes, nose, mouth...adjusted curves, levels, selective color(black) & burned the grass with the burn tool:) #3021651

William88 July 12, 2006

Wow! a lot of works. But, what do you mean "brought back"? #3021665

Alisha L. Ekstrom July 12, 2006

Hey William:) Bringing back means I erased with the eraser tool the eyes, nose, mouth to bring back the clarity of them. That's why when adding a blur you duplicate the layer so you can erase back in the clarity of the important parts:) Hope that makes sense:) #3021746

William88 July 13, 2006

Thanks a lot, Alisha. #3023971
