Do you think steam could be a factor? Fogging your lens, or even just wisps of vapor in the foreground...? I see a few spots where the texture of the drops changes to a softer, lighter appearance, which made me think of that possibility... -c On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 12:52 PM, Igor Roshchin

Expressions and body position of the two dancers is fantastic, Charles. Really great. Love the 2nd shot as well. I think a BW rendering would be great for that one, but the color rendering is excellent as well. Great work! Cheers, Christine On Dec 5, 2011, at 12:43 PM, Charles Robinson

Many people continue to do their work in Photoshop, for whatever reasons. No need to be apologetic about it. Lightroom simply does what I need to do better, most of the time. When it doesn't, I use PS or other tools. G On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 6:33 PM, Paul Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net

2011-12-05 Thread David Parsons
Lightroom is as much or more about organization and metadata as it is about manipulation. You can't do pixel level editing in LR, and Layers don't exist there, so PS and other editors are still useful even if you use LR. My dad doesn't shoot nearly the volume that I do, and LR doesn't make sense
