My daughter, Ashley, just returned from a gig with Carnival where she works as a dancer. There was a photo workshop on one cruise and she modeled for one of the photographers and received the digital files of the head shots he took. It is always best to start any post processing with a good "in camera" shot, but post processing is a big part of the final look you get. This isn't photoshop manipulation as often criticized, just basic clean up and correcting of the image. Personally, I always shoot in RAW, which is like a digital negative and gives you the widest latitude for correcting and adjusting the image in post process. This image was shot in JPEG, where the camera does the conversion from the RAW data as captured by the camera's sensor, so limited in what could be done in post process. Anyway, her is a before version (left) and after I did some work in photoshop to try and improve the look. Make sure you click on the image to see the larger version.
