Wanda Schwind Junior Member Registered: January 2002 Location: Ohio users gallery	Tyeise, what a beautiful grandbaby you have!!! Hope I did you two justice. PhotoShop I used the lasso tool, mask, to select faces of grandma and baby separately and adjusted levels and used selective color to achieve the flesh tones. I used a soft brush - blend mode - color- low opacity, using the eyedropper picked color from baby's cap and brushed over it until the yellow cast was gone. Same procedure for the blanket, but I added a little more blue to it. Selected neck of shirt, rotated and erased until it fit. Used clone tool to blend in. Smudge, airbrush and healing brush - used on faces. Shaped jawline with the smudge tool and pulled out a little more hair. Used a small hard brush, blend mode color, for Tyeise's lips and the airbrush for the blush. Used the dodge tool on her eyes so they looked brown. I then selected the baby w/ the lasso tool and moved it closer to grandma's face. Used the eraser tool to erase unwanted areas. Smudged the bk/grnd pushing the yellow out and keeping the black. When everything was in place I flattened. I then cropped it with the crop tool. Improvised a frame from PhotoImpact. added a little texture in Painter Classic. Thanks everyone

I agree with Flora, moving the baby in
was a great idea.

And your skin tone and coloring for
Tyeise's face was superb.
The ultra fine texture from Painter
works a treat.

Wanda, in your next retouch can you give someone three eyes so I give you a helpful suggestion.

Wanda:
I love the skin tone you did to the grandma's face. You mentioned selective color, how did you do that? Can you write in a little more detail how you achieve the skin tone on the grandma's face?
