Yes, it is after retouching in Gimp.

I have many more. Here is my submission for the ICON Lifestyle, May Flowers Photo Contest:

I just got Poser 7 and Bryce 6. Both are giving me a head ache! Maybe some day I'll create something good enough to share.

glad to see you got P7 Cami.  :) It has some wonderful shader features and a good render engine (firefly), worlds better than P4.

In theory I should be able to make some pretty cool images. I have PhotoShop CS3 too but I can't seem to make it all work from command line :laugh: What ever could I be doing wrong? RTFM I guess, lol

Any advice from the resident pros here?

One word: Gimp.

Have it, hate it. I'm usually a huge fan of open source but GIMP just lacks so much IMO. COuld be because I haven't really worked at getting into it but I find photoshop much more user friendly in spite of the price tag.

Post by: Lisbeth on May 11, 2009, 04:32:08 PM
Don't know why I would spend that much money when the free deal does everything I need. And then, people who start on Gimp don't find PhotoShop exactly user-friendly either.

Photoshop is the industry standard. I only use PhotoPaint now because that's what I started with all those years ago  ;) My partners also use Deep Paint which allows for projection mapping onto 3D models, something that comes in very handy for elaborate model texturing.

Pretty Fairy Lisbeth! Sorry we didn't mean to hijack your thread talking about programs lol  :embarrassed:

Very cool. I used to work in the "fairy & dragon" industry, this reminds me a lot of Nene Thomas. She was/is  a great artist, we hooked her up with the company doing her sculptures. Anyway very cool work.

Which means that they have no motivation to make their interface user friendly, compact their code or streamline the processes it uses.
Personally, I hate photoshop with an unholy passion. It's a great representation of a monopoly product.

used to run photoshop on my mac, but have now swapped to paint.net..

The photos are quite nice. Not my kind of thing though..

I have to agree, which is another reason I don't personally use it and never really cared for it- it's a lot of hype and other programs have most or all of the same features for less money.

The money issue is a huge one. I priced a couple of copies of PS for the business and discovered I could buy at least 10 copies of a similar product for the same amount of money.
Ludicrous!
