Hi to everyone! Haven't been here for a long time.
I liked these photos and did 3 of them.
Tried to be consistent to some point on the skin tone.
Here they are ...!

i did a version of the girl with the machines, i over did the smoothing purposely, i just liked the way it looked.

nancy J did some really nice hue adjustment to the picture she did, i basically did the same thing. i think yellow photo filter i used.

If you like I'll tell you how I did it.

I like a lot godmother, please share!

ok

It was hard but not long

1- Look at the chanels and kept the one with more detail (RED), deleted the other 2 (now the image is B&W) so change the mode to grayscale and then again to RGB. with the image in B&W I patched the bad skin with good skin in 50% (ctrl+shift+F) all over the face.

2- Colorized the image (one layer for the skin, one for the lips, one for the teeth,etc) trying to mantain the colors in the original (well the colors that were left and guessing the other). merge the layers and play with the levels. But I didn't pay to much atention 'cause I knew that the next step would fix the details.

3- Reopened the original image, copy it all and pasted it in a new layer of the retouched file blended soft light and turned down the opasity 40%...50%)

4- One again I merg the layers and now the image had more sense. Again played with the levels, move the curves a little and adjusted the tone and saturation of the diferent colors.

Finally, some highlights in the mouth, the earing. Some shadows in the nose. Some unsharp mask to the eyes and eyeshadow.

English is not my native lenguaje so I do what I can. Hope this helps you understand my image.

I like the first one bettel (is more REAL)

This is my porcelain version.

For this one, I took the retouched picture, mask the skin and made 3 copys of the masked layer.

The first masked layer gaussian blur (about 10%) Desaturated and with more light.
Second above: overlay.
Third layer blended COLOR (30%)

When it looks good to you, merge the layers and final touches like shadows and high lights.

Again sorry for my english

Did Robin ever come back?

Godmother · #24 06-23-2006, 09:18 AM

I don't think so. I even sent him a private message asking to use one of his picture on my retouch portfolio, but he never aswered.

hey, my name is aaRon, and im new at this forum. thought i'd intro myself, and say hi to everyone on this board.

i thought working with these files were ok. didnt take much time, and didnt do much for them to look decent. color corrections were key on this one for me.

i actually like these pics, and would love to use em for portfolio purposes as well. i think im going to try and email the photographer too, just like Godmother...

a bit Crude, 15 minute work, but shows the direction I'd go in

Painting with dodge/burn using multiple passes (like 3) reducing the radius of the brush in each pass.

My try ... used some light blurring but recovered sharpness with the high pass filter in an overlay blend layer.
