 Ok, so it's my first go at a detailed re-touching. I've mainl focused on getting rid of blemishes, evening skin tone and re-shaping the lips. I was wondering what your thoughts were (remember i'm a newbie! haha) and if you have any good tips for me? Apr 16 10 03:25 pm Link not bad except the white balance in the 2nd image looks off and the overall image looks a bit blurry. If you're going to blur skin, you'll have to do so while keeping other things in focus using layers. Do a search on www.youtube.com for some easy to follow videos on photoshop. Example- search smoothing skin in photoshop.

And the natural shadows present in the before, now appear gray and muddy. Apr 16 10 04:07 pm Link Apart from the removal of a few forehead pimples, and the changing of the tone to leave the background off-white, I'm not entirely sure what else has been done here. It's not up to a "retoucher" standard, in my opinion, but a start at least. Apr 16 10 04:09 pm Link IMO, Looks as if the hair has lost clarity, Other then that it looks good!

Apr 16 10 04:17 pm Link even though everyone hates it, you need to add a highpass layer in overlay mode.. will sharpen up the edges of things... will make the blur less noticeable also a little more liquify on the sagging skin on the jaw line... make her faceial lines smooth, no sudden breaks in the lines Apr 29 10 08:40 am Link PE Art Photography wrote: That seems like a pretty extreme statement .. from reading peoples opinions that doesn't seem like an accurate assessment.
