immanewbie. I've been in and out of this forum for some time now. never had anything to post. but I've sure learned a lot. thanks. I've become a big fan of ronmatts work and I've paid special attention to his or her teachings. What I've posted is the result of what I've learned from him/her? [does anyone know?]
I live in L.A. where everyone is in the music business. This includes my cousin who produces for his wife Lara. She's Chilean and has a club band. this graphic will be their first cd [this isn't spam, it won't be released for another year]
it's an enhanced photo of Lara [thanks ron], cousin Neil shot it. I photoshopped it hope you like it

.. yes, I liked it very much ... and can see the influence ronmatt has had on you [righton] ... and hope to see more of your work
Before I even read your post I thought, "Hey, that looks like something ronmat did." Ron has his own unique style that you can recognize anywere. I think thats a good thing, and I'm glad to see learning from him. I think you've mad a great start too. I really like what you've done here. Very clean and beautiful. ?[righton]
Welcome and very good work.
Is she supposed to be half-immerged in water? very nice effect, and I like to see how, even as a self-called "beginner", you did not overuse filters and effects. That is the sign of good tastes, and I look forward for more of your creations!
That singer sure makes me want to be a photographer (my D200 is coming, can't wait!!!)
Double r. first let me say, I'm not upset that you have chosen to use some of the techniques I use. that's why I post them. Hopefully you'll take them to the next level and I'll be able to learn from you. Now, the challenge, following a tutorial does not a Photoshopper make. You have to be able to innovate to establish your own style / look. That's a bit harder. Can you take these few tools we've given you and extend upon them?
If you are, in fact, new to Photoshop and new to art of any sort, you appear to be off to a good start. This should be an easy challenge for you. The LARA cd cvr. looks too much like my work. Use the technique to make it 'your' work. There are things that can be done. which I eluded to in the mini-tute, which would help you 'stylize' the technique.
Maybe I'll post something later just to see what you can do with it. If you'd like. Some advise on the 'wine glass' posted on another thread; the glass is too dense and the inner glow should be more intense. I'll be posting an alteration on that thread and I'll show you how to create the 'rim'. ( if I can use the posted .jpg ).
anyway, great job on the cover ( how do you get anything done with Lara hanging around? ) I look forward to more
