In the customer images section, I love that girl in the orange sweatshirt. How do you get that glassy-eyed, dreamy effect exactly? Is that all the lens or also photoshop? And if photoshop, how? I love it!

No Photoshop necessary. You simply shoot at 1.2 or 1.4 f-stop and make sure your focus spot is right on her eye(s). Also, you should be standing between 4 to 5 feet from her. That will ensure her eyes are in focus and the background is blurred out. This lens is a dream. Pricey but worth every penny.

Aloha Terri B CS6 is what edit and mask with, more than anything else I highly recommend it. Started out with photoshop when it 1st came out (a million years ago it seems). go to applebysanimalsdotcom will show you what you can achieve. Good luck Gregory

Did you pick a color? I'm considering the gold, but... i like the subtle almost no-color gold in the amazon pic. but everyone says go to canon's website and look there because the colors are truer: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoActhowever, i prefer the color as shown on amazon and not the darker gold as shown on the website. if you have seen this gold in person, can you determine which image is closer to the real thing? thanks!

I think the skin tones are great. But this is subjective. So it is hard to say how you would like it. I like the Fuji colors. They are realistic...unlike the Olympus colors which seem to put an orange/warming filter cast on everything.

Well Cindy, that is something I haven't ever tried....give me a minute to run it through my Big Shot and I will let you know. How's that? DRUM ROLL....for dramatic effect!!! I used an embossing folder by Darice mainly for the style of design and it worked beautifully. I ran one piece through several times and it looks OK while having a slight curve in it like most paper or card stock. Then I ran a second piece through once then back to the starting position because it is easier to remove the folder from that position and it looks great too, without quite as much curve. The flower design is embossed in the plastic very well with no tearing or milky look around the edges, that I was concerned about. I chose this folder because the design has several sizes of daisy like flowers, some swirls formed from dots and also a couple tiny hearts. Besides the curve I can see no difference in the results. None of the designs in the folder caused a puncture in the plastic especially the dotted swirls. I believe you would be very happy with the Cuttlebug results too. So go for it...and by the way, thanks for asking, I love passing along information that I have learned so others can increase their knowledge and fun in their creativity. Don't forget you can stamp on this with a permanent ink too and color it. Have fun!

Thanks, Tech Guy! So the "optical stabilization" feature is one thing I notice not all the lenses have, and I assume becomes more critical with more zoom?Annette, I'm glad I could help. I'm not a great photographer, but I've been fortunate enough to get some pretty good pix, both with film and digital. For me, the 2 best things about digital are 1) not having that little voice in the back of my head saying "you're going to spend a fortune getting these developed" while I'm trying to get the perfect shot; and 2) not having to wait for them!!

good! there are two flashes, and a slight pause in between them. sometimes people are confused when i take photos of them using the red eye, because they think the photo was taken after the first flash, and so they moved when the photo was actually taken. it shouldn't be too big of a problem for you though.

Get a lightbox, 5500K lighting with high CRI to make everything sparkle, and use photoshop to do focus stacking. Pro shots. Perfect lens for this. I've got L lens too. This one is way cheaper and just as good.

Hi Marissa... Well I haven't used them yet. I am a photographer and I actually got them for a shoot I have scheduled in a couple of weeks. My shoot is sort of an erotically charged pseudo Catwoman character. I won't know if they work until we get the model outfitted and have her try them.

Hi, I didn't really like this lens. It doesn't have the effect that I was hoping for. The lens cause an effect on the photo that I did not like, on both sides and its not a very good wide angle, if you are looking for an effect more like a fish eye as I did.

I'm reasonably satisfied with scanned photos. To get a good copy photo must be on a flat surface. If anything 'lifts' the scanner off the surface the process breaks up. Color rendition is also acceptable but the editing program for improving contrast and color balance is very basic. I don't know whether a better editing program can be incorporated. Hope this helps you out.
