Plaissance

Thanks. The light and the haze was actually what I photographed. (So all it takes is ticket to Paris in winter and a camera for this one.) I have also found that if I remove as much noise in Photoshop as possible before I open it with Studio Artist, that enhances the look at lot. I also use the smooth effect in Image Options and use duplicate layers to enhance the appearance. Though I have never used it,I think it would be posssible to create lighting effects by using the blur in combination with Adjust: Vortex (for rays) on layers to combine with another layer. Another approach: Using the Region selection along with Feather in Region Selection options would create soft edges on the rays. You could start with an all black layer, create the rays, feather them and adjuest the colr to get a soft yelow. Then place that over the main image as a Min layer. Sorry if this sounds vague. It's easy to show and not so easy to explain. I hope this helps, though.

The colors & light on this one are what grabbed me first. I also love the buttery glaze you gave it.
