Excellent WIP!

All good points. Photoshop is overkill for most well shot knife photos that just need a little tweak. (no software will save a poorly shot subject) I do most of my photo processing in Light Room. It is much more user friendly and intuitive. And this comes from someone who has PS in his job...

Good answers all. I'll add that good PS work is unnoticeable. Much like salt. If the meal tastes salty or the photo looks like it was beaten with the PS hammer it is too much. A little goes a long way. IMHO, an over PS'd image can sow the seed of distrust in the viewer...

I got that too, today. The name was Dennis Adams. Trustingly (because it is knifedogs) I clicked on the link and then thought "OOOOOOH NOOOOO" So far so good. Thanks for looking out for us.

Looking good!

Congrats to Cory and thank you for the contest Boss! Really neat to see everyone's work ratchet up :cool:

That's really nice. And it isn't a harpoon! Good on ya :D

Congrats to all the well deserved winners!

I've seen a bunch of Buddy's work and can emphatically say that he is not a one trick "knife on the table" pony.

Speaking as the full time graphic artist that I am… One of my favorite design sayings/philosophies is: "Less is more, more or less" The first half is so true, the second half means that rules of thumb (& thumbs) can be broken :) I'd lose the outline of the state… when reduced it'll get too...
