Michael, you're old fashioned. :o) Hang in there though, Microsoft is on the way!
Google won't become irrelevant until the appliance in which we interact with it does. I have been around the PC industry since it began. What was wrong with it then is still wrong with it now. The model is to reverse engineer what already exists and…
Julie,
You need to accept the invite and get wave installed. Then you can look at the tutorial wave and invite friends so you can start waving. Keep in mind it's a preview so many of the anticipated features aren't available yet.
Have fun,
David
Great shot April.. You too Marty, love the clarity.
Chris, I like this image, it's a good capture with a lot going on. I think this edit shows how tough the lighting was for you.

If you realize the possibilities of Chrome, Wave, and Google in general and would like to maybe start using Wave than this is the group for you. I plan on organizing monthly Waves to learn more about Wave.
Thank you Marita, you have a keen eye yourself.
Probably a little crass, but I've said it for years and years. Tits are for kids!
What does bother me though, is women who put em on display and then complain to their girl friends because men look at them. I find it annoying and distracting in a b…
Ashan, you're not arrogant, you're just not real smart. Your example is a montage. As in you're good at cutting and pasting, oh and running plugins. If you knew how to mask you wouldn't need to include the glowing halos around your cutouts. Even aft…

“Your photography is a record of your living, for anyone who really sees.”
̶̶̶ ̶ Paul Strand (American Photographer, 1890-1976)
I strive to improve the image without changing the story.
My name is David and I'm a photo retouch artist. I started out studying photography at The Art Institute of Houston in the early 80's. I moved to Tulsa and began a career as a commercial photographer, but after I built my second darkroom I found that I liked the darkroom as much, if not more than being behind the camera. Although I have remained an avid photographer the computer age came along and my formal training was electronics, so it was a natural progression to get into computer IT and become a geek.
In 2006 I was in a serious car accident and had a long recovery (100% if you don't count the occasional vertigo ). Anyway, I decided I would change my focus and I began learning everything I could about Photoshop and Illustrator. Just as I had taught myself photography a long time ago, I started teaching myself the art of photo retouching. I'm obsessed now and I don't see any end in sight.
I have great color perception and a wonderful attention to detail. I see things most don't and my wife hates to shop for clothes without me, she says “because I'm so good with colors." Yeah right, I say thanks 'hot rod' and spend the day with her anyway. I love her to death. ;o)
I really want to be a great success with my retouching skills. I think it's always been in my blood to make things look as good as possible, some would call that a perfectionist trait. Maybe so!
Currently I'm happy to retouch one or two quality images without charge as a way to build my portfolio and possibly help others with their goals too. Feel free to contact me or send images you would like retouched to Wizard@PixelPurfect.com and I'll let you know which ones I would like to retouch. You must be the model and/or the copyright holder or have permission to request the retouch. Please include your user name when you contact me via email. That's how I organize my work.
All the best,
David

Shelly Rice said… - You are most welcome. You have a very interesting and unique profession. I will certainly send anyone your way who I hear needs help with their photos. I have a very broad network, but nobody who does photo retouching, so it's great to have you in my network. Happy Networking!
