Hello!

I am trying to learn the art of photo retouching. I have been reading all the Tutorials and searching the web. Im trying to learn how to do the retouching that pageant retouchers do.

I have attached some eye lashes that IM trying to master. Any suggestions? Any Tutorials?

Hi Lillyvo,

welcome to RetouchPRO! :pleased:

We don't have Tutorials on pageant retouching here at RetouchPRO, but you could find this Thread (http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11018&highlight=eyelashes) interesting as it contains links to two sets of eyelash brushes ...

If you need any help with the set I created, don't hesitate to contact me... :pleased:

Hope this helps.

THanks, I know that you all don't teach pageant retouching but post of the things I have found on here helps me get that effect with my photos.

So if its ok, could I continue to ask questions?

Hi Lillyvo,

So if its ok, could I continue to ask questions? absolutely yes! Even though we don't deal with pageant specifically, you might find some of our tutorials or Threads on 'skin enhancement/improvement' very useful... here are some examples...

That Soft Dior Look for Portraits (http://retouchpro.com/tutorials/?m=show&id=209)
The quick de-grunge trick (http://retouchpro.com/tutorials/?m=show&id=213)

A search (http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/search.php?) for specific topics will get you even more results...

I was able to make up a custom set of eye lash brushes of my own by finding a good model picture on the web - then tracing around her lashes and then make a "define brush shape". These brushes are just the lashes themselves. You can make them whatever color, size or opacity you want. I put them on a separate layer and free-transform or warp them into just the perfect shape and size.

I think you are on the right track. Flora especially has some great resources in her material.

I have about 8 sets of different kinds of lashes. I just dab them once onto my portraits. They go from from casual, to sophisticated, to outlandish. Its a great resource to have and use. Several good links have mentioned where to get these brushes. They are great.

Keep at it - it takes time to build up your own library of effects and tricks.

Good luck. If you want several of mine - you can PM me.

This has help me so much that I wanted to give a little back. these are saved in png so will work in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro.
