New Image Tru 'Nembra 's Pipes - addendum

Elena,

Yes, I have Photoshop. I probably should have mentioned it, but I did
post-work on this image in Photoshop -- blending some shadows that came out
too sharp (even with soft shadows on), adding the shadow on his
chest/abdomen, and adding a diffuse glow filter. I'll have to play around
with masking and applying the filters that you mentioned.

I"ll also have to look into picking up the book that you mentioned in your
other post. I think I'm to the point where I need to read or study something
to really learn what I'm doing, instead of just playing and trying stuff.
:-)

Thanks for all your advice! I learn so much from you and everyone else on
the group. I appreciate it more than you know.

Thanks!
Andi
