Looks great TheVeed! Great work on her skin, care to give some insides on how you achieved that? And welcome to RetouchPRO!

Here's my second version with improved skin.

I just dodged, burned, dust&scratched some pores, umm... I dunno, it was a bit of work.

Here is my version of your picture. I've tried to keep it as the natural as possible.

arueff: you've probably maxed out the limit size upload! try taking the file size down to 100kb or something!

Hi,
Great the idea the mouth. What have you done ? You've used someone else's mouth ?

Well this image has been flogged to death, resurrected and flogged again but going back over the submissions I particularly like the colors in Solitear's one so I thought I would give it a shot with a similiar color scheme.

...I don't do glamour. I can say that I do like the natural look. This one definitely did benefit from a technique that I outlined here. I also did some healing brush work (kept this to a minimum) in Photoshop and some skin color equalization. Here's a larger and higher quality version. Attached is a downsized version (did additionally sharpen it since downsizing blurred it a little too much).

I just could not resist any longer. Like Ikroll, I don't do glamour but was practicing the degrunge tutorial by byRO. Works great. Thanks byRO for spending the time to document the process.

[superkoax]

the de grunge tutorial is very nice with getting some smooth skin, but sometimes using the degrunge tool I tend to get areas in the face that are light and dark...that bugs me...anyone care to shar how I'm messing up with the tutorial??? or do others here get the same thing???

One more version !

[TheVeed]

How'd u do the background? It reminds me of a high school photo, and I wanted to re-create one for a friend. I just left my glamour retouch challenge's background as white.

Third version of the picture.

[yelhsaneerg]

here is my version, i smoothed out her skin tone, changed her eye color that's always something small that can make a big difference, arched her eyebrows, gave a her a nose ring (she seemed to have this certain "attitude" about her so i thought that'd go good with her), gave her skin a little more color, and intensified the color of the scarf on her head...that's about all, but i think it turned out pretty good..hope you like it
