Go from average to glamour

I have written often about the power of the digital darkroom and I use a variety of tools and software to get the final images I envision. In the past, we also used a variety of tools to achieve these glamorous looks. Soft focus filters, extensive lighting setups, and some advanced darkroom techniques. Despite what the anti-digital darkroom people say, it is always been done, it is just using different tools.

While it may appear easier today it still requires good technique and a good starting point. Those of us who work extensively in the digital darkroom understand that it takes time and practice to “make it look easier”.
