TY William! You have Very Nice photos on FB too!
I tend to be afraid sometimes of downloading anything on the web because there are so many fake sites out there with a lot of bugs in them. I did PP because I had seen the website in a magazine and just went right to the website and as you mentioned, I believe that the free sites have a lot more limitation then the actual programs tha could be bought. I use Paint Shop Pro right now and for the most part, It does a lot of the things that I would like to do to photos, But, It has it's limitations too, It's not as good as what you have.
You really did do a great job with your FB images! ( Thanks again for the link) I can see now where some of the backgrounds were changed, It's awful that I didn't really notice it before, I guess I was looking more at how the people in the photos were done instead of paying attention to the background. ( Looks good!) ( Lopve that burnt Orange! It just tends to stand out to me)
I was definately considering getting the blue or green Chromakey background for easier removal of the photos, I pretty much just copy cut and paste the images right now.
I'm trying to invest a bit in in some more studio equipment to ( hopefully) get some better photos, I got barndoors, Colored Gels, Diffusers, Ect. and in the process of picking some reflectors. Got a couple books to try some different ideas on lighting ect. I don't have anyone to show me how to do anything so I'm doing everything through trial and error and reading, But, Getting better at it, Slow process, But, It's a hobby that I really enjoy, So, I'll learn as I go.
I posted a photo on here to the "Critique" forum and now I'm kind of embarrased that I did that because I really "Overdid" that particular photo, But, I'll know better next time to do a better job before posting something! lol! Do you ever have a problem with PP leaving black sxpots/lines on your images? Mine tend to do that sometimes and I don't know why, Maybe it's because I over do it when working on the photos.
