[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 215013, member: 12257"] There's a bit of an auto correction that occurs when I go to edit the pics in LR re: barrel distortion, but perhaps it's not enough. You can see it kick in as you scroll through the pics in an import the first time. Maybe I should go with Ken Rockwell's settings? (snark here for some of the folks on the forums ;) ) Also, re: the foot. Good thoughts! My thought would be to just mask it out, as messing around with it a tad this morning, the extra bit of color outside of the frame just reached out and punched me in the face. I'll see what I can mess with tonight. I will say this though, with the simple tools I have to apply layers and get that effect, I'm wishing there was an easier way! That Intensify Pro is a fantastic tool so far, but it doesn't have the auto-mask features of LR that would make it so much easier, and I haven't figured out how to get the preset look for both the color and B&W portions in LR. I've gotta hit a TON more tutorials online it would seem! Why can't ya just create a custom shape with some drag and click options and be done? LOL Thanks for the kind words, and know this: Apologies aren't necessary at all. It's comments/critique like this that I was looking for when posting the pic here, in the photo evaluation and critique section, so I appreciate all of the insight! I'm just now diving into this huge world of photography, and I'm [B]driven[/B] to improve. Can't do that without some input and guidance from those who have been where I am and advanced well beyond, right? [/QUOTE]
