Apr 06 Contest

[likenew]

Some color/brightness correction, lots of creative cloning and a hint of contrast to bring out the interest in the face. Fixed the flyaway hairs, but kept some around the head and removed the extraneous shoulder straps.

removed all the patches and marks, added warmth and life to the skin tones, changed the background and added more area around her head, extended the dres a bit...

well... here's mine..

Thanks to all the tutorials in RP I have learned alot.

Healed/Cloned blemishes. Use bra straps to make the blouse. Applied gaussian blur on the skin. Adjusted color by using Color Balance filter. Applied a little bit of makeup on the eyes and lips. There's not much work involve on this one. It's just hard not to go overboard and keep it a snapshot.

Good luck everyone!

I am a new member and fairly new to Photoshop. I enjoyed working on the picture and tried to keep it as natural as possible.

My copy. Comments are in the discussion section. Good luck to all. This was a great picture to work on.

Because I had to keep it as a snapshot, I didn't do anything on the image itself. No curves adjustments. no schadow highlight, no sharpening,no background replacement, no removing of fly away hairs. I tried to focus just on making Aylaah more flattering! Hope ya like it!

This is my "realtor touchup" The basic retouch done for realtor advertisements at my company

[Alicia88]

Besides clone stamps, healing brush, curve, level, and all sorts of tools,
I added shadow, highlight, and vignette to enhance Aylaah.

[PeteyB]

This is my first post and my first contest. I have enjoyed viewing all of the images

[dkcoats]

Here's a snapshot from aylaah's holiday trip to the USA.

Been working on this off and on since the contest opened. Can't remember everything I did. The list includes--but is not limited to--heal, clone, degrunge, burn, dodge, curves, levels, hue/sat, selective color...I could go on.

Thanks, aylaah, for letting us abuse you.
