Brightening:

Ok now that we've sharpened the eye slightly, we want to give it a bit of brightness. So carrying on where we left off...

Lasso the eye as before and Feather...

Select the Dodge tool from the left had palette...

... and move the exposure slider to '75%'...

Next select your master diameter until it's big enough to cover the entire lasso... Once it's done click ONCE over the eye.

Deselect the Lasso Loop...

Done.

Sayer, i just made an action to re-size image by 1200 x 800 and it seems to work the same on portraits and landscape pictures.
So i managed to do one that re-sized and run an unsharp mask
And another action to re-size and put a logo on. Need to work a little on getting the logo in the right place but works a treat saved me ages! Just got to burn to disc ill do that in the morning!

The only thing that bothers me now, is if they look shite on the clients PC, and if the pictures i have sent off to be printed what they will come out like? Im a bit nervous!
