Ok, blushing now. ;)

Eeeeee, yay! This is flawless. So glad you took the time to write up all of these. And the cropping bit at the beginning of my request is aces. Thank you so much!

[a_thari]

Thank you!

Actually, I'm not quite satisfied with the "cropping guide", it's too short and not very useful considering what else I look out for when cropping. I haven't got the hang of writing something like yet, but I want to do another one to fix that.

Amazing work! I especially love the last one! :)

[a_thari]

Thank you, I'm glad you find them useful!

YAY flawless post!
but the first crop is stunning really, i wish i could me more brave with crops like that lol

[a_thari]

Before I get to a crop like that there is a lot of trial and error, especially terms of just having too much of the subject visible in the canvas, which ruins the overall picture.

Wow these are beyond stunning, and I was so excited to see them and try them out - only to realize I wouldn't be able to because I don't understand curves enough to complete any of the curves layers without the input/output numbers to see. *facepalm* I only got to like the 3rd step on the first icon (the cruves layer where you upped the blues/cyans, etc.) before I hit the wall. *LOL* I'm unfortunately totally lost. *hides*

I didn't think of different experience levels when I wrote these which is my mistake. I'll give you the output/input parameters for the points of the curves. Output is on the left and input on the right side out the slash. You have to click on the drop down menu in your curves layer to choose between RGB, red, green and blue
