Coming this week: I have a new, extremely high-quality nude photo-reference package which I hope to upload today (keeping fingers crossed). This won't be such a specialty item (as were the two "The Perfect Blemish" packages) and I'm hoping it will raise the bar as far as the quality standards of the currently available crop of reference materials. (In other words, I hope it will blow your socks off!)

I will be offering free samples (for download) of the original, uncompressed tifs. When possible, the packages I offer for sale will be the uncompressed tifs (for download - or jpeg format if file size exceeds 25MB) or, I will simultaneously release a CD version of the original size, uncompressed tifs.

After this release, I'm hoping to get the new site up and running http://www.chromafolio.com so that I may offer discounted prices to interested parties on all products to follow.

If I've peeked your curiosity at all, I'm hoping this photo sample (which has been extremely compressed & provided it displays correctly in this forum) will entice you enough to try one of chromafolio & hankim's offerings. :)

OK, I found the post here! So how's it going? Is it in pending yet? And will there be male textures soon? I'm working on guys lately. :-) -Heidi (an interested party)

Well, I fell a bit behind... I'm hoping I can get this set finished up tonight and upload it no later than Sat. morning. I'm trying to manage keeping over 600MB of tifs under 25 MBs (jpegs) for d/l. All future products of this type will offer the option of a CD as well as d/l. I've been having some serious problems with my computer (AGAIN!!) and I was finally given a brand new machine after having to go almost 2 weeks without one. Then the hard drive went on it after 3 days, yadda, yadda, yadda... I know a lot of people have been waiting on these for awhile now. I'm very sorry for the delay. Yes, there will be nude male photo reference. I already have one set of photographs of a professional male model which were taken last weekend but I haven't had a chance to review them. I'll also be photographing another male (possibly two) and one female in June. (The studio I use will be closed until June 1) After that...not sure, have to see where the demand is. I do have a professional (male) model which I'm hoping to use for several things, one being a set of photos for reference. Thanks for your interest and again, sorry for the delay.

Sounds great! And don't worry about the delay. I'll take quality over speed any time. :-) Glad to hear you'll be working on some male references!!! Michael doesn't have much skin to wear, and I'm assuming the situation will be similar with the new David model. And there just isn't that much out there for good reference photos, especially of men! Looking forward to seeing them! -Heidi

Great! My health issues have really been kicking my behind this week. I get temporary paralysis, fuzzy thinking (and of course, pain) so I'm working through it the best I can. The photos are ready, but I want to include something special with this package which I hope everyone who buys it will benefit from... As soon I wrap that up (tonight?) I'll upload the set. Again sorry for the delay but I would rather put out the best quality product I can rather than rush it and regret it later. Perhaps my announcement was a tad premature but it's hard to tell when I'm going to have an "attack" or how long it will last. I hope it's worth the wait. :)

Take care of yourself first, Pam. The marketplace isn't going anywhere. No need to apologize. Hope you feel better soon! -Heidi

Thank you for you're concern. :) It comes and goes but guess what? I'm uploading within the next hour. YAY!!!!
