I recently received a call from Portfolios.com to place my images on their website ( for a fee).

Has anyone here ever hearrd of them or dealt with them? What were your experiences?

Thank you

Nope…and I would NOT pay anyone to display my images. Nope. Watch out for spammmers and schemers.

If you have some webspace with your ISP you could buy a domain name and host your own gallery.

The Airtight Simpleviewer is an attractive (and simple for a beginner) way to show galleries, and because it is Flash based, will make it harder for anyone to extract the images.

Though, as with anything on the web, the only way to guarantee no one can get the full size images is to not put them online.

While I have not personally dealt with Portfolios.com, I would not dismiss them entirely.

Portfolios.com offers a one-stop directory of artists that your own web site could not. You will see that many of the folks on portfolios.com have their own web site as well. If I were a buyer of art, I would likely go to a directory like this rather than googling for individual artists. This is the benefit of portfolios.com or similar artist directory web sites.

You will have to weigh the ROI for promoting yourself on a service like this. But your first step should be to have your own web site as you can easily find hosting under $10/month and your own domain presents a professional image.

Hi Would anyone know what sort of technique and/or filter I may use
on
human subjects, that keeps the facial skin toned down yet keep the
fine
areas like the eyebrows, lips, eyes, hair sharp?

Here is an example of the end result that I am looking for…
I would really appreciate your help
Thanks

search for tutorials on selective masking.

Basicaly you make feathered masks for some area and sharp masks for others which enables you to selecivly deal with different areas independently, normaly each area is on its own layer which then allows full use of opacity for fine control of the finished image.
