  1. <p>It looks like over done frequency separation to me, there are a million how to videos on youtube that really explain the process. But you can't do it in Lightroom, you need Photoshop, or a layers capable pixel editing program. Actually it looks so heavy handed it might just be an auto portrait skin smoothing plugin, but the frequency separation would do the job much better.</p> <p>Why does it look like that? Look at the eyes, the first has crows feet lines coming off the corners of her eyes, and a little lineyness below her eyes, there is no way they are the only lines on her face. Similar on the second image, look at the texture in the makeup above her eye, well that texture should be in her skin as a minimum.</p> <p>If you want to send me an image, either inline or privately, I'll do a quick retouch for you. This look has nothing to do with illumination or exposure, sure you can't make a bad picture good, but you can get "good" skin tone in the worst of images.</p>
  2. <p>Hi there Timothy,</p> <p>I have the 2x TC MkII, on the 70-200 f2.8 IS it is a real disappointment, there is another guy here William W, who has/had a 70-200 f2.8 non IS and he gets really good results with his, he swears by the combo and actually has a gallery of images here shot with it. </p> <p>I also have the 1.4 TC MkIII, the results from this are much better, and in my opinion it is well worth getting. But I'd do a quick test of your own personal gear, there ends up being very little difference between IQ lost to the TC or just re-sampling a smaller picture with just the lens up to match.</p> <p>Have a play at this link, this is for the 70-200 vs the 70-200 with 1.4TC MkII.<br> http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=103&Camera=453&Sample=0&FLI=4&API=4&LensComp=103&CameraComp=453&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=5&APIComp=4</p>
