I created this image using Daz3d and Adobe Lightroom. I usually use Photoshop but I saw another digital artist crediting Lightroom for their more vibrant pics and I thought I'd try it. So, I do think the colors and contrast came out better but Lightroom apparently saves in TIF format. That's a High Resolution format that Deviant Art doesn't support. The crazy thing is that there appears to be no way to convert TIF files into PNG files. I've always uploaded my images in PNG because it's lossless compression. But when you convert TIF to PNG in Lightroom, all of the color vibrancy and depth disappears. So, I had to save it in JPG format (an inferior format that won't last over repeated opening and closing). So, here are my questions:

(1) Below is the PNG version I created using Photoshop in my usual style. Do you like this version better or the main pic (JPG) version better?

(2) If you are an artist who uses Lightroom. . . is there a way to edit files in PNG format instead of TIF?

Let me know what you guys think. I also have a version of this pic without the spittle effects that I'll probably post later.

As promised....here is the version with no spittle:
