I love your G-String site... the models are hot... I did notice that some of the pics on your site are over-sharpened... try "unsharp mask" in Photoshop instead of "Sharpen" -- you get more control -- at least in Ver 5.5, "Sharpen" is overkill and you will get lines along the edges of the model's body -- as I noticed in some of your pics... Maybe you are aware of this already... anyway just some constructive criticism.

Just a helpful tip to some people new to graphics -- usually when you resize an image (smaller) it will get blurry... let's say you shot a pic at a very high resolution -- and you bring it down to web-scale -- you will notice that the image will be a little blurry. Go into Filters in Photoshop and use "Unsharp Mask" -- don't overkill the shapening -- but a little sharpening can go a long way -- it gives images more depth and tends to make model's eyes and teeth brighter.

One other trick as long as I'm here... Let's say the model is kindof greasy and you have no makup ;) Or maybe you just bought some pics -- and the girl has grease spots... You can use the selection tool (magic wand I think) -- w/ a low tolerance -- on her "grease spots" -- or highlights -- you can then do a "select similar" then "feather" out this selection to sortof soften your selection... (check your selections w/ quickmask) then you can do a blur or whatever you need to -- to get the grease to not be so greasy looking... You can take this general idea and turn it into an action and you can get some really suprising results w/o overworking the image... You can also use this same process to remove hair also...

I'm pretty sure that most digital cameras that don't have a real lens have a tendency to over-sharpen little details like hairs, pimples, etc... so yer probably spending more time editing in Photoshop... Anyway I'm no a pro photographer... that's just my 2 cents.
