First time I have tried Smart Photo Editor with real people. I wanted to go easy so I used sketch for my first edit. the original photo is the first one shown with a little color and contrast enchancement.

Well Done - Nice to see the original image to compare with - great result & good effect selection!

Keep up the good work - all the BEST for 2013

For a first try including people I think it's very nice.

I give you a clue : Don't be afraid of spending much time in one pic, sometimes as much as a few hours

Thank you. That could be a turning point for me. Not sure how you figured that out, but I think you are right.

Quick question for you, can you start to edit a photo within SPE save it and come back to it later to continue editing? Once again, thank you for your comments.

Hi eestubbs104,

You asked "can you start to edit a photo within SPE save it and come back to it later to continue editing?"

Yes you can!

Wherever you are at in the editing stage CONFIRM your last edit (if applying an effect) and go to File and open the menu and click on 'Save As Session' - you can save to the same folder as your original image. This wil save as a Smart Photo Editor Project (.pe) file which you can open whenever you wish with all the stages involved in your edit to the point of saving. This file is easily recognised as it looks very similar to the Smart Photo Editor Icon itself.

Hope this helps,

Andrew

More than a reply this is a comment. Something I wish i could do with a session.
If we save a SESSION, can we apply this same treatment to a different photo?

That would be cool!

Andrew, not sure if I ever got back to you, but your advice has help me tremendously. I now no longer feel that I have to rush my work. Perfection takes time and boy do I need a lot of time. Once again, thank you for your response and help if I haven't already thanked you.
