In this image I really struggled with whether or not to edit out the freckles on her back. I didn't leave the ones on her face because the just weren't spread evenly and I felt they were too light to be noticed as freckles but now I just feel like the skin doesn't match. Should I fix it or leave it? Sep 15 13 09:34 pm Link What are the needs of the client? Sep 15 13 09:46 pm Link Bearz Images wrote: I'm the client, it's my photograph.

You can experiment in darkening the freckles in the face; perhaps that will help. Sep 16 13 03:38 pm Link Anything that detracts from the overall impact of an image should be dealt with. IMHO. -JULIAN ie. If you want the message of the image to be "freckles," then keep them. If not, "delete." ;-) Sep 16 13 03:51 pm Link Beautiful photograph. Freckles give it a much more natural look. I would suggest focusing on how the image looks as a whole at thumbnail size before working on the details. I'm sure it looks great at 100 % but at thumbnail size looks very blurred. Hope this helps.
