Serious Retouch v2.1 - READ RULES B4 Posting
Due to the size & popularity of the original PhotoShopping Thread (and headache moderating it was creating for us) we've broken it down into two threads. This one is for serious retouching work that will be used for promotional or commercial purposes ONLY. RULES OF THE THREAD 1) Any image bearing a copyright or signature/logo may only be modified with the approval of the copyright holder and then only within the parameters defined by the copyright holder. 2) Posts must be no larger than 600 pixels on longest side with link to larger or RAW images. Please use [ IMG ] & [ URL ] tags. If you require help in posting, please refer to the FAQ under info above.  3) One image to be retouched per post. 4) Retouchers MAY NOT watermark an image, however they may embed EXIF data. ALL EXISTING EXIF DATA MUST BE MAINTAINED. 5) Credit MUST BE GIVEN to the retoucher. 6) A retouch that would produce a DERVIVITAVE WORK OF ART must be authorized by the copyright holder IN WRITING. For our purposes we will define a derivitive work as: A revision or change that transforms more than 40% of the original with the exception of simple retouching. For our purposes we will define simple retouching as: Removal or alteration of human imperfections and small objects. 7) Images that will be used for commercial purposes, resale, or that will be provided to a client where there has been (or will be) monetary compensation must be posted for BIDS for retouching services. All BIDS will be sent by PM to the poster. Only a retoucher who's BID has been accepted may retouch & post the retouched images. You may include a sample retouch in your bid. 8) Violation of copyright will not be tolerated and any violations of copyright will be reported to an MM moderator for immediate action which could result in suspension of your account. 9) The rules are subject to change, if in doubt refer back to this post for changes & revisions. 10) This is not a critique thread. Discussion of techniques and constructive exchange of information is encouraged, flaming, rudeness, and non-constructive criticisim will not be tolerated. 11) The thread moderators have the final say in all matters.

Oct 14 07 10:22 pm Link Alli BBBBBBBBB wrote: That color shift you're seeing is due to the conversion of the 16bit RGB to 8Bit RGB and also the failure to convert the colorspace from ProPhotoRGB/Adobe RGB to sRGB for the web Oct 14 07 10:31 pm Link hmm... ok would it explain that in this then? http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f282/ … 5-Edit.jpg but even if i did convert it to 8 bit....i still get the same thing when i go to save it for the web....or do i really have to change the color profiles...cause i work in AdobeRGB.. but its weird...this the first time ive really noticed this problem....i dont have this problem with my images....hrmmm  Oct 14 07 10:43 pm Link Alli BBBBBBBBB wrote: Yup, that's the result of saving it in ProPhotoRGB w/o conversion to sRGB. I only work in ProPhotoRGB so I've seen that quite often Oct 14 07 10:50 pm Link gotcha....well i also happened to have my camera set at AdobeRGB also...maybe thus why i dont have that problem with my images?

Thanks hun, very cool Oct 14 07 11:32 pm Link Carol Milligan wrote: This is the best I could do, I know somebody could do better. My computer almost blew up working on the full size photo(it's slow and old, and so am I). Oct 15 07 12:59 am Link Carol Milligan wrote: Hmm this actually needed more work then initailly meets the eye, lots of loose hairs, and stuff.. anyway (2 Hours) Oct 15 07 01:36 am Link Alli BBBBBBBBB wrote: There is really very little difference between Adobe RGB and sRGB as far as the human eye is concerned as the variations are very subtle. ProPhotoRGB, on the other hand, has an huge gamut by comparison so the colors appear muted when viewed in a form that only understands sRGB. Now add to huge difference the difference between 16boit & 8 bit color and it stands out like a sore thumb when you don't convert.

The skin retouch looks amazing. I wanted to take a look at the bigger version if I could. Also need tips on what you did. Brandis Kreative Images wrote: Brandis, very nice retouch on the eye. Great color and detail on the eyelashes. Oct 15 07 09:34 pm Link all hail the QUEEN of retouching Alli BBBBBBBBB. She just sent me the full tiff version and you have to see this file to really appreciate it. I decided to post a 100% crop of the before and after and you will see why its good. Before  After  Anyone who needs something edited and edited well, go see Alli B. Granted she like every other good retoucher needs a good photo to start with. They are retouchers not miracle workers haha.
