I used the brightness/contrast filter in Photoshop and then painted on lots of layers using layer blend modes. After I'm done doing all my painting I merge the layers and then use some free Photoshop Actions from Pioneer Woman to finish the image. If you like I'd be happy to send you the psd file so you could see what I do. *smile*
Wow! That is an amazing differance, you really have some post work skills. She looks a little yellow in the render and her skin looks awesome in the post image, no idea how you do that. Just excellent
Well, there's that too, though if I were better with Poser (and I've been using it for almost 10 years...I just upgraded to PoserPro from Poser 4 just last year) I would not have to spend so much time postworking. Still I find painting in Photoshop to be very relaxing. *smile*
wow!
