Which would be more important for an amateur photographer to purchase Portrait Pro or Lightroom?

Amazing thank you!

Yes, a brain. It's a medical show that is produced in this television studio. I really wasn't able to change the lighting. The lighting belongs to a television studio.

I have learn a great deal. I will look at my shots with the model in mind. I have shot product for many years, always trying to make it look great. Now I will use my critical eye on every shot.

Thank you Tilde! I think I should stick with buildings and landscapes, but I very much appreciate your kind and corrective thoughts.

Thank you to all that replied. Although she may not be able to make me take down the picture, I did take it down as soon as she requested.

I did take raw in addition to jpg files, but I don't have Lightroom. I have picasa and I do not yet understand how I can use it to develope raw images. I agree, however that her blemishes are more of a problem and I should not have posted it on Facebook in the first place.

Again thank you all!

Is this any better?

2nd photo of Model

I am just a beginner. I join a club meeting this month for the first time. They met at the local PBS TV studio and they had three volunteer models. We shot all afternoon. I uploaded this picture to Facebook, as many others had also done. The model was tagged in the photo. She sent me a message to remove the photo almost as soon as I had posted it. I have seen her in several other photos posted, but I guess this one is really bad. Please don't hold back - tell me what is wrong. She maybe needed better makeup, and the TV studio has a yellow gel on the key light.

Would any of these program edit RAW files? I would love to get lightroom, but I just can't afford it. I have Picasa 3, but I think lightroom is better.

Is this in Illinois? I remember seeing a cross on route 57 in southern IL but I this this is a different cross.

sinatraman don't join in their fight. It is enough to know that you believe in the LOVE of God, regardless of what others say about us. Thank you for making this group.

Great photos of the church

What size photos may we post?

I like the idea. Hopefully you will be able to control the group. I worked for Christian Television and took photos as a hobby. I look forward to the group.

Where do you post the photos? I have not signed up but I have looked at smugmug.com I have been told that this is for professional photographers that want client to see their photos and choose which prints they want. I believe visitors to the web will not be able to download, but they will be able to purchase prints and you get paid.

Maybe others on UHH will have more information or you could read their agreement. There is a monthly charge for storing your photos.

I use photoshop on my desktop when I import my iPhone photos, but on my pad I use PS Express. It does some good basic corrections like crop, brightness, color etc. also free app.
