This place can be very confusing for a new guy! So many different opinions on many different retouching styles/outcomes. It makes it difficult to decide on a direction or just stick with what feels right. Opinions/constructive criticism on a couple I've done recently would be greatly appreciated.

Only suggestion is to clean up the armpit a bit. The only line she needs there for her to look human is the one crease, the other lines are essentially fat rolls that no girl really wants. You can take a clone brush at about 20-21 opacity and gently stroke against those lines from below to remove them. Looks great, really! Jul 25 12 01:17 pm Link 1st image- Forehead color is dramatically different than the bottom. Forehead gives off a yellow tone and lower part seems more in the magneta range. I think over all that's a nice edit though. 2nd image- Left cheek more red than the left. Maybe equalize it? Clean up the armpit a bit too. I really think you don't need that much editing really to fix this up. Good job! Sep 04 12 10:57 am Link |
