I'm a fan of the Orton effect, but it is easy to over-use it. I like this treatment, provided that there are others in the set that don't have it. I'll bet mom liked it...
Thanks for the Comments , Yes the Mother Loved the the Pic cause that was what she was wanting, I agree with you all that it has more effect then normal, But thats what Mom asked for . She wanted a soft effect , I done two others and she chose this one. Again thanks for your comments.
Hmm, different people , different tastes. If I had to create softness then I would use a large (surface) light source as close as possible to the models. Then fit a soft focus lens and a very restricted diaphragm setting <2.8. That creates a great bokeh, softness from the lens and softness from the light. A glow is not the same.
A photographer without a style, is like a pub without beer

The Orton effect is easily created in LR by bumping the Clarity fader to the left. This allows you to apply it to any image, with any lens, at any aperature, with or without flash, making it much more versatile and variable than the method you have described. It works very well.

That will work too, or even make pigs fly (don't get me wrong, i love technology
It all depends what you are trying to be. A Photographer or an illustrator ?
Its like sugar or a substitute.

Really? So we're not photographers if we can recreate a lighting setup or lens effect with software? I was just letting you know that there's an easy way to do what you described. If you truly love technology, try embracing it a little.

Let me say it like this, if you can only control the light, lens and scene with software, then yes, you are
not a photographer. Technology, hmmmm....I hate it . I just spend 25 years developing technology. So don't wurry.

The Orton effect and a well-lit image using a large aperture are two totally separate things (which aren't mutually exclusive), that create completely different looking images. They can be used together or separately, although I can't imagine why you would ever intentionally choose to start without a well-lit image. The Orton effect has always been a post-production thing, although originally with slides not Photoshop. But I think Michael Orton would be very upset to think that the method is thought to be a replacement for taking a good photograph. Now stop fighting :-)

Yep, I can go along with this...

To me each photographer has there own style. I cant afford a studio with all the light set ups and props and everything that goes with owning and running a studio, but if i can buy Lightroom 3 and CS 5 which i do have and use and use them to adjust a Photograph that will sell, Well im happy and this Young Lady is Happy and in the End thats all that Matters.
