Here's an image I did during a recent photoshoot. I wanted the model to cover all, but leave tat impression of nudity. I originally looked at the image in colour, but after taking a look at the result in B&W I decided that that was the better result. Anyway, all comments welcome as ever

Here's another technique gleaned from Scott Kelby's Photoshop CS3 Book For Digital Photographers. On this one I used the skin soothing technique and I have to say it truely is fantastic.

The shadows from the natural lighting gave me the look I was looking for.  Then I took the inner glow framing technique and the extended bottom idea and made this a presentational photo. I liked the result.   I would like to add, that this book is incredible. It a great read, whether you are in front of your computer or lying in bed. It was so good I have ordered Scott's 7 Point System. 

One of the things I like about using Photoshop is that if you don't quite capture the perfect shot all the time, there is always something you can do to produce a stunning shot. Here's one example. The background of this original picture was spoilt by the background lighting. It was too harsh and took away the impact of the subject. So with a little creative cropping I was able to save...
