Thank you ALL for your wonderful comments and remarks. I am certainly grateful for each and every one of you!!!!

Edna- In response to your question- I currently use MS Picture It for all my editing. I will be upgrading to Photoshop very soon and I can’t WAIT! For this particular image I also used a noise reduction filter that was recommended by one of our fellow BP photographers... Check out NeatImage.com I absolutely love this program and highly recommend it. You can download it at no cost and it works WONDERS. Unfortunately I did not use this filter on most of the photos in my gallery, but I wish I would have. It really gives the skin a soft-smooth-flawless glow! One last hint: experiment with the “luminance channel” this is where the magic occurs. HAVE FUN and GOD BLESS!

Here is a before and after example:

Katherine, this is just darling! I love your angle, the flowers in the tulle, and your use of Neatimage. That is a great program, which can be overdone. But you have mastered it here perfectly!!

Love your gallery, beautiful portraits, full of life and the innocence of childhood! I will be back to look around better later, I'm on my way out! Thanks for your comment on my family portrait today!
