Gild your lilies. When it comes to touch up, Mr. Sweet isn’t afraid to Photoshop. “I have no problem with anything digital at all,” he said, citing Nik Software and Alien Skin filters that can be added to Photoshop. He likes to use Nik’s Dfine to reduce noise and Sharpener on his shots, as well as sometimes using an Aline Skin filter called Bokeh to blur backgrounds and Exposure to make his photos look like they were shot on Fuji Velvia film.

Alien Skin and Nik Software products are available at an educational discount price from Creation Engine
