another thing that jessica sprague has published in various magazines:
pull your photo onto your page. auto-fix, fix red-eye, sharpen as desired. (will be bottom layer in layers pallette)
duplicate the photo layer. (will be middle layer in layers pallette)
duplicate it again. (will be top layer in layers pallette)
change the blend mode on the middle layer to screen.
change the blend mode on the top layer to soft light.
play with the sliders on both blended layers - usually something between 60 and 80% on each of the layers gives you a fabulous, lightened look. make sure you link the 3 layers together, or merge them, before you work on the rest of the page.
