I will pwaiting for u back please =).,

The intro was not made by me. It was made with Adobe After Effects.
Love this new tutorial, I agree it’s nice to see you working with more color and something more romantic. (Sorry about that). I’ve been using the dodge and burn technique but I learned a lot about the fine edge highlights and the effects really adds to the final results.
I think this tutorial makes my top three. #1 is still the summer day with the girl in the field with the umbrella, #2 is the couple with the apple basket. And this is very close to that.
I have a little request from a fan, if you don’t mind. I’d love something in depth on gradients you use them so beautifully, I’d appreciate more info on choosing them and different ways to uses them beginners to advance.
Happy Holidays! Lisa
