Realistic Blend XL

Version 2.0This update comes with a few improvements:<ul><li>better skin details </li><li>more detailed backgrounds</li><li>sharpness slightly increased</li><li>better colors</li></ul>One downside is that this version tends to create more western looking woman. Hope I can fix this in the next update to get better results of Asian women.
