then again I don't like how the image looks with minor skin retouching I'm still not satisfied I want that perfect skin but my D&B techniques sucks and everything else I try looks like crap as well. Example D&B example I pretty much sucked since I don't know how to do it very well I still feel it feels too rough. http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/1981/img2778c.jpg Degrunge example I feel looks like crap http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/754/img2820l.jpg unretouch shot from same session. What my image looks like before any processing. http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/6348/img2809m.jpg I feel that the images look way too rough I want something more smooth soft looking I'm more into the surreal style CGI type of looks I just don't know how to achieve it. I feel the texture on the skin is too hard. I don't know if I make any sense lol this images have not been sharpened or anything like that. example of style of retouching I will like to achieve ![]() ![]() Mar 29 10 02:58 pm Link First one looks like a good start to me...just needs more detail work.

Use healing brush everywhere on the face at the frequency corresponding to the outside of the pores. You end up with smaller pores.
