Wow, that does look good. Michelle, could you post a link to the trial version? I'd quite like to try it myself (parents are thinking of getting me some good software for my birthday in January, and need ideas).

Zara, Here is the link to the trial version. Let me know what you think of it once you play around with it.

Wow!!! The edited version of the pic is great!!!!!

I loved the picture. How much does the program cost?

For anyone who has regular photoshop, you can do that with it.

I did the photo in the attachment in like 5 seconds. I imagen this program is a lot cheaper though for those who don't have photoshop.

Hmmm...can't you just play around with the levels in Photoshop? Would that produce the same effects? I'm just curious

I had a go too, it took a few minutes, but it could be done a lot better.

This is what I would call a good Photoshop job... the original (last one), and then after some work. I'm impressed!

I was going to make a post similar to Audrey's. Anyone who has regular photoshop can acheive the same effect.

Image -- Adjustments - Shadow/Highlight
Mess with the levels until you get a result that you like. Sometimes I also mess with the contrast if needed.

Thanks for posting the link, Michelle! I'll be downloading the trial once I find my old adobe account password (it's written down somewhere ), or failing that I'll use my dad's.

Just curious. I do not have photoshop because it is expensive and even the trial version takes around eight hours to download on dial-up (may be a slight exaggeration, but not much). So this new program you are talking about, it only deals with lighting and such, so it is a smaller program is that right? In other words it may be something I can download in a reasonable amount of time, right?

It is a much smaller program. I downloaded the trial in about 3 minutes. It is only 61Mb whereas Photoshop is is 463 Mb. Lightroom can do about anything you want to do with your photos. It deals with lighting, colors, sharpening, etc. It is also much much cheaper. If you decide to give it a try let me know what you think of it.

Cool. Sounds like it is worth a try. Thanks for the tip.
