I only invested in one (a camera) about 3 years ago. It was worth it. :-)

Have you checked out Mirror filters yet?

Plugin Galaxy has an excellent one.

I've owned several digital.. The last one I got was an investment in
quality and I must say it's the best dang thing I've ever got.

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT / 350D
Sigma 28-70mm F2.8-4.0 Lens
Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO Macro D Lens
4 GIG Micro drive

Best $1,600 I spent and use it dang near daily.

As for PS and plugins.. I dislike over usage of plugins so stay away
from them. Know some years ago lens flair was HUGE and everyone used
it.. Almost as annoying as emboss.

The BEST use of Photoshop is that in which you can't tell that it's been
used at all.

No arguments there. :-) Did you see that rain forest photo I posted?

Nope.. Just subbed to the group last month. Or I miss it? Thread title?

At any rate, love the camera..

Do have a Mavica CD1000 which was fun for a non SLR but writing to the
CDs in camera got old, slow.. Also have a Kodak DC 110 which I love the
outdoor shots with it.. Just sucks batteries like a leach.

I just posted it yesterday morning.
I could re-post it but don't want to annoy the group!

Oooohh.. Yeah, I saw it..

1/2 way down and 2/3 to the right there is a spot beside the tree that
was not smudged after the clone brush was used...

Nice work though and good example.. Should post the 'before' of it as an
example of the true power of Photoshop.

Reminds me of the inhuman models anymore..

Yes, but see, that one was done early on when I was first learning about
the cloning tool. For some silly reason, I did not keep the original.
I'll have to ask Mike for it when he gets back on line. (He's in the
middle of moving right now). Fortunately, I kept his original file name
as I know he has thousands of pics on file. Some of my favorite bald
eagle and Canadian white tail pics have come from him.

Very cool!

I really ought to sit down and take a good tutorial one of these days.
I saw some tools used in those that I'm _totally_ unfamiliar with!

Photoshop is an amazing program...

I've not done a lot of face re-touches. I've mostly used it for fantasy
art.
