Photo Retouching - - Eye Lashes

Lillyvo · #1 05-03-2006, 12:15 AM

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 RP!

We don't have Tutorials on pageant retouching here at RP, but you could find this Thread 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...

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?

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
The quick de-grunge trick
Wet Skin
Skin Red Blemish Removal
Skin Smoothing

A search 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.

Hi Ray,

Do you still have these lashes? Do they work with photoshop 7.0?

Thanks.
