This is an old image, taken four years ago on an underground space alien party of a good friend in Brussels, Belgium. I suppose this is one of the guests who came from Venice but wanted to stay incognito. Lots of twiddling has been done on this image but I still like the result a lot.
TECH-INFO: I have no idea what kind of twiddles I did on this one, except I remember it was done in Jasc Paint Shop Pro, I guess version 7. Probably many of you remember this fine Photoshop competitor. Last week I rediscovered this image. To finish it I only did some contrast boost (using curves), used the filter glow diffusion (but only a very slight amount which made the Venetian mask a bit brighter) and a crop with ratio 11/10. This image was shot with my first (digital) camera, a Minolta F100. The 35mm equivalence of the focal length is 107mm.

I still have a copy of paint shop pro 7 and I mainly use Corel Paint shop pro photo x2 now as i cannot justify £500 for CS2. I have got photoshop 7 but don't use it much now as it will not read Pentax raw. I find Corel does most of what I want and i have found freebies to do the bits it doesn't.
Like this picture Paul, it's a bit of fun!
LightningPaul: I can imaging that PSP is sufficient for most things. At the time I was very happy with PSP 7, 8, 9 and X. Though the learning center never worked when I wanted to use. Also Corel is sending me too many emails (it's becoming spam). A few years ago I switched to DxO Optics Pro. Thanks for your comment.
