With all of your other portfolio images, I'm curious as to why you want this one manipulated.

Everything else in your port is far above and beyond what this is (I understand that it's a selfpic) or is this a "just for fun" type rework?

Just for fun, practice, what not. Its really not something I would use, but I might use it for fun and if someone wants to use it to touch up and put it on their port , thats fine with me too.  Obviously it would be better with a different background lol.   I'm  just putting it out there   I'm curious about photoshop too, so I like to see what is done to pictures etc. I've played on photoshop before but it gets tiring ,prob because I have no idea what I am doing.


YES this photo is not great lol, theres no lighting, no backdrop, not taken outside, and it's taken by a camera,timer and chair.

Do appreciate I'm a news photo editor and never do this kind of stuff. Layer 1 Gaussian blur overlay at 47%, erase around the eyes, mouth and bathing suit. Layer 2 saturate the cyan just a wee bit. layer 3 the background (Cape Cod).

Apologies for the bad extraction of you. I know there is a better way to do it but I'm an old buck and forgot :-)

Thanks ever so much for the opportunity, It was a great learning experience for me!


Hey no prob

Perhaps not, but I didn't hate having to look at you while working on it.
