Didn't want to make her look too much like a pin-up or like she walked off the set of Dallas. Tried to give her hair some kind of shape by adding layers using dodge and burn with a little smudge around the edges.Maybe half successful. Desaturated and lightened skin tone in face. Lightened and desaturated teeth slightly.( I'm English so there might be a different mindset here! ) Shaped eyebrows slightly with Liquify tool. Ditto lips. And her blouse... Softened lines in cheeks using Median filter.( Did I say she isn't a pin-up? ) Ditto under the eyes... Used Gaussian Blur on skin tones ( Color Mode ) to even skin tones further. Darkened and increased skin tone on neck and chest. Used Healing Brush to remove blemishes and lines on neck. Cloned earring. Replaced backdrop and cropped tighter. Hope this followed the brief..

David:
Thanks for the inspiration!
You have done a great job on Jenna.
A very detailed description, I wish I could remember all the steps I took.
I just seem to muddle through and forget all thats gone before.
Your skin tones, eyes, and mouth are very well done - and as for the hair - superb.

Regards

Steve
