Do you have a before photo for us to see so we can more accurately critique your efforts?

wow, she does have a long neck..it looks good from what i can see but that photo is quite small...

hey jam....just roll ur mouse over the pic for the before :D

& pixel...sorry that's the largest version of the pic i downloaded originally..sorry...but thanks for the input :D

I saw this photo sometime age and never noticed the long neck. I think you shortened it a little too much. Now her neck looks too thick for her body proportions. I shortened it a little less and thinned her neck. Als added a little pop by boosting the highlights and shadows. I think yours also has a slight yellow cast.

haha whoops! I guess I should have tried that one first! Dang, she really did have a long neck! I agree with duwayne, it might have been shortened a bit much. If you shorten it that amount, thin it out a bit to even things out proportionally.

I guess I'm not convinced her neck needed shortening, and you've turned her skin green.

it must be your monitor or something because everyone here agrees she doesn't look green.....i wasn't trying to make her look like the hulk or something lol

I just did a skin correction using SkinTune (to eliminate the effects of my (reasonably well-calibrated) monitor and my (not as good as it used to be, probably, but still better than average) color perception).

The point I sampled was R170 G144 B95 before correction, R171 G127 B95 after. The only significant change was in the green channel.
