The First link was wrong and tried to reload at mediafire but kept having errors so sent a downloadable file of it in tiff to myself and added the link here for you to be able to open and download...
https://www.yousendit.com/download/ZW9D … V0JFQlE9PQ

Below are four very different images, curious to see how everyone sees them and how they would edit them.. can use in port just need copy of finished file...They were all shot in raw I just saved three as a tiff with no work done to it and the third is still in nef raw because for some reason had a glitch in saving as a tiff file....

Uh... they're gonna blur it. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, but they're going to blur it anyway.

I think the link for the first one is missing. (Too bad, I was going to blur it all to hell).

Hey Kelly, I couldn't resist playing around with Tiff.....although she'd probably get pissed if she found out I wasn't retouching my own images of her, LoL.

I have no idea if you're complimenting or being sarcastic, but if you'll look at my port I never do that around the edges normally, but I thought I'd try it to add some depth.  No blur on her skin at all though.

First ever retouch.
Did not spent any time to make it perfect just using some steps to see how it works.
Changed the eyes and lips, modified the hair, changed the color of the face painting, rounded the face, removed some shadow under the lips, changed the background, added an ear ring and yes I blurred it.
