So Eileen, how do you make your shots turn out so soft and beautiful? #1093137

Sometimes I diffuse them. I learned how to do that in Jim Zuckerman's class. Here's how: (1) open your photo and 'select all'; (2) Edit>copy; (3) Filter>gaussian blur about 21 pixels; (4) deselect; (5) paste; (6) click on 'screen' and adjust the opacity. When all that is done, I adjust a bit in levels or brightness/contrast. Try it on a photo that is a little dark and you'll make the photo useable. Enjoy! #7343041

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
