A long processing and learning day.
For anyone interested in learning a subtle (or not, depending on your requirements) touchup and makeup enchancement I URGE you to pull up a chair, get the coffee pot on, and listen to this excellent tutorial:

The original DPreview thread on the retouching forum :

Jill might not have been the most appropriate subject for the actions, but learning how to use layer masks and color balance etc was an eye opener. The original is here, straight out of camera.

Not so great but with a little work makes it presentable.
The Vogue thing is just a little joke :)Satire, or black humor, Bill

Superbly done!! It looks like we are going to have that fireside chat on layer masks afterall but maybe you can teach it instead ;o)) -BJ

Very nice work Karen and Jill is as beautiful as ever.

Great work Karen - white is such a tricky shade to pull off

Karen, I'm having trouble with the link. I get an error message "Page not found
The page you are looking for might have been removed,
had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable." Is there a different link? By the way, beautiful image, great work. This reminds me of a beautiful model for a "Got Milk" ad :)

Fascinating, Karen! The final product is stunning, even if you cropped it wrong! (smirk...)
