New software and a big smile for this girl

I recently acquired the newest version of Photoshop: CS3, as well as Photoshop's Lightroom program, and some wicked cool plug-ins for Photoshop.

I just installed them late last night and played around quickly with a couple of pics in Lightroom...changing exposure/contrast/colour balance. Then I exported them into PS and used the "portraiture" filter plug in. Wow. I'm so impressed with how quickly I can make myself look good make my photos look more polished!


Here are some samples:

That software sounds fun. The after pictures definitely show how the software can effect lighting and such. Of course, you look beautiful in all of them.

Just like all of the other guys on here I'm going to comment on how you really don't need software enhancement to look good. You've already got it going on. Technology is cool though, isn't it?
