You really have a feeling for portraiture!<BR/>I too wish there were some help available for learning how best to "show" artwork online ...

Of course now the sun has gone on strike, natural light is too cold, so if you come up with a successful approach to shooting in artificial light that would be great. <BR/><BR/>Your CP portrait is looking very good too.Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-6648282923592033752008-11-23T01:20:00.000-03:302008-11-23T01:20:00.000-03:30This is coming right along.

I really hate the whole process, but know its a requirement of showing images online.<BR/><BR/>I tweak in Photoshop too, but hate doing it Anita. I just like to shoot and go. :) <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your kind words on the portraits. I enjoy them.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-86887264751521881572008-11-22T09:35:00.000-03:302008-11-22T09:35:00.000-03:30I have never yet got an accurate image from a scan...I have never yet got an accurate image from a scan so I photograh everything and then tweak with PhotoShop to get it as close to the original as I can. Never being home in the daylight is something that torments me too.<BR/><BR/>Your first portrait for the swap was superb and this one is going to be just as good.

I would take one, as I can not take good photos of my work. I usually have to scan images,(as long as it fits on my scanner), I can try to get the images as close as possible with Photoshop. CPs do look grainy sometimes, but not too bad for me. I do have problems getting coloured paper scanned, it either is too bright, or really washed out. <BR/><BR/>I can figure out the technological, but I have a habit of breaking computers :p I shock a lot of them lolJennifer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528908250338974537noreply@blogger.com
