Re: PESO -- Bad News?
Like I said, I really really really missed focus, Focus. That's full
frame with three doses of focus correction. My first attempt looked a
bit more natural but I screwed something else up, (deleted, I can't
remember what I didn't like). I'm putting up with the over-sharpened
look for now. Maybe I'll revisit when I feel a bit less beat. Major
heat wave going on here, no air, and I only really want to drink Iced
Tea, and vegetate.
