Very cool!!
I'm a graphic design student so as you can imagine I live on photoshop!!! I'm and currently developing my skills towards photo manipulation and enhancement!!!
If you used the burn and dodge tool you can edit some 'good' pictures into stunning pictures!!!
Here's quite an extreme one I did of your stunning boy!!! took me about 5 seconds but if you spend time playing around with those tools you can really get some amazing natural looking photos!!!
(I hope you don't mind me nicking your picture to have a play around with haha!!!)

haha!!! Yes there are a million and 1 different things on there all set up to confuse haha!!! I find new things every day!!!
The hardest thing to get my head around was the layers!!! And there are still things that I cannot get my head around!!! It's a fantastic program though you can do pretty much everything on it!!! Even animations :O but tbh I wouldn't know where to start on that side only scraped the surface haha!!!

jess I have just spent an hour blocking out the background of a picture ( I watched Jess Austin do it with ease, she is a wiz at photoshop! ) but after I finally did it I wanted to put it on a sky background and lost the bloomin thing ! I dont think I have the patience for this ! can you have a go? I will put the picture up see what you can do with it  |

| None of your horses need photoshop Linda. They are perfect as nature intended. |

Here lies the problem........ look at the adverts that feel they have to put 'photos unaltered' against them.
I don't have photoshop myself but have been at a stud where they did use photoshop to show me how they altered a horse. It's very easy to just sharpen up the dish or enhance the arch to the neck, just a shake of the hand when drawing a line can do it.
Once I used a stallion at stud from a lovely glossy photo, silly thing to do, there is nothing like seeing a stallion in the flesh first!! I knew no better then and my resulting foal was OK but not what I imagined. When I saw the stallion a year later in the flesh I nearly died.
Never use a stallion just by looking at a photo!!!
I don't think you can beat a picture of a horse taken at a show, these are the only ones I trust nowadays |

I think you could probably be forgiven for using Justice without ever having seen him! There are a handful that fall into that category  . My only worry would be temperament but I think that comes mostly from the mare in the rearing tbh. |

| Oh I beg to differ there jen, temperament is known to be hereditary in many cases and I have seen it with mine own eyes , a lovely natured mare with a bolshy bad tempered baby who grew up to be a bad tempered stallion ! |

I'm really not being argumentative but I wouldn't use Justice.
He needs a mare with strong quarters, and not with a predisposition to be heavy in the neck. This is just my opinion here folks!!! I don't know anything....Plus.....most importantly I couldn't afford to do so now.
In a way I'm getting quite fed up with so much Justice blood about, it's dominating the show scene.
We need fresh blood please.
Obviously I love Montoya but then we only bought him as a foal because we love his dams Russian bloodlines, we had no idea then who the hell Justice was!! We felt such plonkers especially after putting a thread up on S/E asking who he was |

Hey! you HAVE a Justice boy and very nice he is too you are also awaiting a justice grand baby I think no one can take away the obvious success Justice stock are getting in the show ring, several world champions male and female, stunning looking with type to burn. what new blood would you like to see Sue? |
