"Dawn" girl on the porch
 

This is my latest effort a 48x36" oil of a girl on the porch at morning..."Dawn"

On my screen there are some lines breaking up. Does anyone have ideas as to why and how I might fix this? Thanks Tim

Here's a detail of the face.

Digital advice? The image that I see on the forum is not what i have originally on my camera. Any advice as how I might fix this?

Gorgeous portrait, especially the blue and purple light!

When you ask how you can correct the difference between what you see in your digital camera and what you see on the forum I'm wondering if you're referring to the small broken up lighter areas that I see, especially at the top. Looks to me like glare off the painting from the light source when you photographed the piece. Could that be it?

Beautiful work, Tim! The fabric looks so flowing. I am working on a painting with alot of fabric, and it is difficult. Of course, the rest is lovely, too. Really. Quite lovely.

Thank you, light was one of the main things I wished the work to be about so white for the gown color seemed a natural choice. Michele, the images look fine and tight on my screen. Once I reduce them in size in order to post them the broken highlights occur. I didn't see any of these when I shot the work or before posting.Maybe I started with too large or rich of an image? Shooting "jpeg" size tends to loose a lot of detail though.

Boy, you've got me stumped. Cynthia Daniel is the best one to ask about digital files. She's a master at it!

Maybe this will be better...
