Some high dollar portrait photographers still use it. The actual tinting is usually subcontracted out to someone like "Heather The Painter". Not the real Heather The Painter, she does Corel Painter, but a similar contractor. Point is, you can hire it done & according to my instructors at school it's one of those little things that return BIG BUCK$. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
