Thank you for taking the time to leave concrit! It's always appreciated <3
The lighting is excellent, and your masking is very good, too. Thank you! I'm using the quick mask modus and my drawing tablet to mask, and it's such a luxury. I don't even remember how I used to deal with doing it on the touchpad--especially hair is so much easier when I can just literally color in the areas I want!
I'm happy to hear you like my lighting. I'm at constant war with lighting both in graphic design and drawing (and filming, back when I used to do that). You can do so many cool things with light, but it's so hard to get it right! So I'm especially pleased that you think it works here.
Is a sample copy layer like "make new from visible" in GIMP? If so, THANK YOU for telling me that exists in Photoshop (which yes, I do use PS), that's the one thing about GIMP that I really miss. I'm good on everything else; I know how to do those things--but that's really useful. I agree with your concrit about artifact blurring, but I never thought of just slapping the entire icon on as a new layer, blurring, and then masking. I always try blurring in the layers, but that gets really messy really fast.
I'll have to give that command a try! And I have to admit I don't know how to use actions in PS. Are they like macros in Office?
