One of the five photographers at work during the Champagne Shootout on Monday night. There was plenty of Ice Cream for the attendees, but I didn’t see any champagne.

This image is from the WPPI Master Class given by Ray Prevost. Ray’s class was about the use of Photoshop, specifically Body Shaping: Beyond Liquify.
In this image Ray shows how to correct the problem of “Giant eye”. OK, not really. Actually Ray is showing how to improve the appearance of the eyes. You can find out more about Ray’s excellent work at his website.
