is it possible to purchase the iso 800 action individually?

[photoshopmama]

No not at this time. It is only available in the full bundle.

dithering breaks up banding that can occur in areas where the tone gradiates. The dither is like noise or dots that breaks up the bandin or stripe like appearance.You may not see much of a difference on screen but dithering will help for printing.Dithering is also used when compressing in the gif format to minimize posterization. This is not a formal definition, but one of observation.

I've been trying to do some pinup and glamour shots. Trying to get the white background has been kicking my behind. I tried your technique, and it worked well. I just had trouble with the hair looking bad. I didn't have your ISO 800 action and that may have been the problem because what I tried didn't work very well. I had to go back to my old method because the photo was for a customer.

I'm looking forward to viewing your other videos.

We have over 7 hours of video training in the Pindora's Box-Glamouring edition package, that covers all this and more.

pretty good tutorial. long live the laso and the wand. a bit long, but it's good.

[photoshopmama]

Thanks! If you think this is long...beware of some of my others! ha! I do know I'm long-winded with my vids--but I'm a stickler for the details. I'm always trying to be aware of not leaving things out. I know that can be grueling for the more advanced user or others who can digest a faster feed...but it is what it is and will continue to be.

What does dither do? Everything that I've tried it on shows no difference.

you are too limited in background color with this method.. isolation to transparent would be better.. event to make subject suitable for any background color.

Thank you Mama for it is because of your very clear and explicit tutorials that i could get oriented to working with Photoshop. Please keep posting your vids and enlightening the greens like me. Have a nice day and greetings from India.
