From a wedding reception in December

Same candid "portrait" but I decided not to use any Adobe products and to see how the workflow ended up. I have been playing around with several Mac OS X "photoshop" type of apps. After using PS4 through CS5 and teaching classes on Elements this has been a learning experience. The setup is the back porch out side while the granddaughter is playing with her favorite medium dirt plus water =mud. Yes when she took a bath the water was gray. These are 'snaps" hand held with a Tamron 70-200 F/2.8. I open the RAW with Corel After Shot Pro as Serif Affinity Beta does not have the RAW module working. Affinity saw my photoshop plugins but did not seem to work. So I saved the image in their native format and then exported as PSD file. Open in On On Perfect Suite 9.5 and finally saved as a jpeg. It seems Affinity or ON One stripped the EXIF so I reopen in Acorn and here is the EXIF. Pixelmator and Affinity tools seem small on my iMac but Acorn tools are larger. All three have similar features as photoshop which is good for some competition.
Please comment on the image I did make one vertical and much tighter.

Nice shot. Love her look. To bad you didn't shoot it in portrait.

Awesome idea for a thread

That works really good. Do you remember which "aperture" ring you used? I have the lens baby too
