Wanda Schwind Junior Member Registered: January 2002 Location: Ohio users gallery	OK, before I overwork this I'm posting. I think I could have done a little more on her, but I just don't have the time right now. Wonderful challenge!!! PhotoShop 7 Copy - adjusted levels to get the very dark shadows lighter. I used the clone tool to repair the entire image. Using different opacities and brush sizes. When everything was repaired I had some hard edges to soften. I used the airbrush to soften and blend edges, using soft brushes. Used the colorpicker to fill in the signature using the darkest color of the sig. I also used the color picker for the eyes and beads. I used the burn tool on the hair, which in my opinion, was the worst part of this image. the burn tool did bring out some detail, midtones - 9%. I used a canvas texture because I thought it helped the hair some. Filter - texture -texturizer - canvas - relief 2. Thanks for this wonderful image, I wish I had more time to spend on it Thanks, Doug, for your work on this site. I have learned so much Wanda

Phili 1, thank you so much

I see that you are getting the hang of the healing tool, I give you much credit!! I have tried using it, but I'm afraid I haven't been able to get very good results from it

So I just clone my way through life

Thanks

While some won't like the canvas texture I think it's perfect here, even with it there is a certain smoothness to the image.
It may be my eyes or screen but as you look at the picture, the right side of her hair looks ever so slightly discolored/blotchy, but I'm being ultra picky.
Overall great job, you've raised the bar for the rest of us to reach.

Exceptionally good job. The canvas does help a lot, though you did such good retouching you could have done without it, I think. But I personally like the look.

Not a fan of the canvas look but what a great retouch. You have managed to nail the hairline well, I am finding this nigh on impossible.

Paul, thank you for your kind comments. "Discolored/blotchy" hair, I'm not seeing it on my monitor, however, you ARE probably seeing it. The hair is one area I thought I could have done a little extra work. You're not at all being "ultra picky" Appreciate very much you taking the time
