I'm a parrot guy, myself, but these dogs were too awesome to resist! Their master was probably inside the café next door chatting up a hot babe. Thus the forlorn expression of longing on their guileless dog countenances.

You're back! Ok, here's a question I've always had-- how on earth is that "glow" effect achieved on the outline of people/dogs, etc? The two dogs here are positively glowing! PP?

Hi Leigh!! Thanks for checking out my photos :). The glow is very easy to obtain. In general, I use layer masks to dodge and burn my photos. Usually I have one "screen" layer and one "multiply" layer so that I can darken and lighten to my desire.

After that, I use selective contrast enhancement, with layer masks (imagine an S-curve being applied to selective parts of the image, like the face, or the eyes). This helps to get that final pop.

Finally, I had a little grain and sharpen! I hope I answered your questions!

Thanks, Chui. That was really helpful! You just solved an old mystery and I'll have to try it myself next time :D

Thanks so much for the :+devwatch: by the way! Looking forward to seeing more of your street photography.
