Same place, the farmhouse has been renovated and has had a recent paint job,
but is still basically the same. She's now a modern young woman, and does not
mind wearing her work clothes for a photo.
Using my Wife's 'Virtual Makeover' program and Photoshop 6.1 {waiting
expectantly for the new version later this year].
1] from 'virtual makeover', gave her a new hair style, eye makeup, blue eyes
and lip gloss.
2] cut out her features, hair and neck, pasted into a new image, and cleaned
her up.
3] found the work clothes on my CD collection, took them off of the young
lady wearing them, scaled and fitted them onto our subject.
4] flattened image, selected her out, and pasted into farmhouse image.
5] adjusted her skin tones, by selecting the skin area, and filling with the
paint bucket tool set at a low opacity. Filled several times until what I
thought was the correct depth of tone was reached.
6] very slightly adjusted hue and saturation, and a smidgeon of noise.
7] very slight use of the unsharp mask filter.
8] adjusted size and file type.
9] sent off for your comments and criticism.

Modern young farm girl. Novel approach. Looks good. My only comment would be that there is alot of fine detail in the shirt and surroundings but not in her skin. With that kind of focus you would expect to see the pores in her skin and any blemishes. Since her picture was not as clear as the one you put her into, I think I would've softened the surrounding to match her a bit more. Just an opinion and not from a pro so take it with a grain of salt. :smile:

I agree-although I do like the "artsy" appraoch.
I will tell you what my photography teacher told me long ago: "Mindy, you can't have it both ways. It's either an artistic photo or a realistic photo. Trying to have it both ways just doesn't work"
Well, I don't completly agree with him, but maybe I would try doing what you did to the face on other parts of the image-to tie it all together.
Keep up the good work!
