any suggestions on taking sharp shots at a dark place with out the noise if you know what I mean? and if there's really bright area in the photo and the main object is in the dark, how do I bring out the main object without making the bright area too bright?

Definitely, my suggestion is one of two things.
Getting in camera.
1.) a flash exposing for the main object. Start f 125 at f5.6- at 100iso

Send me pic then I can show

I've found a good flash works wonders in low light situations, unfortunately mine was busted while in Afghanistan. But, with my new D700 I can crank up the ISO and still get nice shots. It was a major upgrade over my D70S. A fast lens can also help a lot in those low light situations. After typing all this, i just realized i misread the whole post; oh well, I'm still posting this drivle.

Nice work here, i'm sure i saw someone who did photo work say there was a plugin or filter you can use that helps with removing the appearance of light dirt on paintwork??

I've only got CS, but hoping i can do something with it.

I would never EVER recommend portrait professional. That should be opposite portrait unprofessional with a sad face.

I will not expend on my retouching skills because there is so much, retouching itself is an art form. You are absolutely right that adobe elements will do it but... If you are in the slightest interested in photography it's worth it. My friend and Author professor Katrin Eismanns book "restoration and retouching" is hands down one of the best books. Even though it's only for photoshop cs2 you can still apply her technique also when you buy the book she is accessible. You can mention me if you get the book and have additional questions or email me.


Blurring of the skin, unless spatial frequency techniques and I would only advise if you know the proper integers.

Why would you not recommend portrait professional? What is it you can do in Photoshop that Portrait cannot do, especially when it becomes part of Photoshop as a plug in?
My experience has been that you can do exactly the same things in Portrait professional that you can in Photoshop but the entire process is much much easier and faster..

Nice however remember not to blow out your highlights so the front tone down just a bit. Don't be afraid to be selective :-) but good job
