One of the many faces of my first grandchild, Layla, who is now already six months old.

I was using a free trial software called Portrait Professional. Before I would purchase such a program I would read reviews on it first. I went to Amazon and found that the reviews were mixed and some felt you could achieve the same results with other software, so I tried to see if I could.

Working with skin tones and achieving natural looking results isn't so easy, but I did the best I could with Photoshop and the free OnOne plugin that we got at a PS seminar and was able to get this far. I still have things to learn.

Of course, a portrait is only as good as its subject. ;0)
