Oh thank you hon! I'm so glad you like this and am super-duper flattered.

Your use of that tool is already wonderful.

Do you mean the burn or the dodge tool or....? (I suspect ipiccy and PS are more different to each other than I ever realized before.) Those are actually a rather minor part of this but I enjoyed being able to darken/lighten or saturate only where I wanted to, rather than having to do it in reverse.

I also discovered another way of creating "bokeh" effects with applied shadows and light with those tools, which was fun.

A lot of what you're seeing is actually my favorite ipiccy textures, light leaks and light effects, including the "false bokeh". If I were to do these again I'd use the shine remover tool on her face a bit, I'm just learning to get comfortable with that tool.

I still have no idea how to get rid of the pixelated edges from this point except to shrug and say, better luck next time. Thoughts?
