I would like some feedback on my skin work Jan 14 10 09:43 am Link Could you provide a link to a bigger picture? From the way it looks now it looks fine to me, but I would like to see the bigger picture Jan 14 10 10:38 am Link There's just a "wee" bit too much texture on her face for my liking. Otherwise, it looks pretty darn good. Jan 14 10 10:39 am Link Under chin needs d&b'ed so theres a smooth tonal gradient and that thing she has going on is gone. Personally it looks over textured, like a filter? Also skin tones are odd. look at neck area, its color doesnt fit with the rest (or its my screen) of her body like her shoulder. ok, theres one thing thats driving me NUTS and thats the flyaway hair above her eye. Its not that noticeable in the original so whatever your doing has made it stand out. I know its not to do with skin, but but......but.....I have a thing about flyaway hairs.... Jan 14 10 10:50 am Link Would help to see a crop at 50-100 percent of the before/after. Pick a problem area, like around the mouth, or around the eyes, and show a close-up of that. This will give your best challenge, and show how you do your stuff. Jan 14 10 10:54 am Link too much magenta around the lower neck and chest. Overall image has a feel of inconsistency like face is too bright and smooth but not the rest.

Jan 14 10 05:46 pm Link Not a bad effort. My suggestions are basically two: 1. A little too much magenta in the skin tones, especially in the shadow areas. Magenta is especially prone to run away with skin tones. I dialed that down using the targeted adjustment tool in curves (CS4). I generally find that when I increase green (to counterbalance magenta), I also have to decrease yellow a bit. 2. As others mentioned, the neck needs some attention. I first used the clone tool -- lighten and darken modes -- to adjust luminance values. Then the healing brush to restore texture borrowed from the chest. (There's also a little scarring on the chin that needs a touch.) Jan 15 10 06:09 pm Link |
