My wife frequently goes trivet hunting at the Salvation Army for interesting things to photograph, which I occassionally use as retouching examples in books.

This china doll below was a stumper--it'd lost its hair. My solution was to use dynamic hair in Poser on a distorted head that I colored china-white with high specular highlights. I brought it into Vue because it was easier to reassign materials and add a slight touch of correctly positioned blue sky lighting. The cloning and painting in Photoshop went like a snap.

Does anyone else use Poser for photo replacement parts?

My Best,

Gare
