Photo Retouching - - Beth

I have officially retired those images. But I have another. Tell what you think. It's defiantly a challenge. I need to be thinner and not muscular.
If interested please e-mail me at mylifefashion@aol.com for tiff file.

I forgot to add, all those who have edited pictures of me may use them in their personal books if they so desire. Yes, I have permission to do so from the photographer. If you feel comfortable using a release. Email me and I will sign and e-mail back with a witness. I say this because I plan on using your images in my book.

Oh my god, why would we want to make those legs thinner? They look gorgeous as they are!..

Because I model. I lost weight and I want to put these pictures in my book. I personally think they are fine but the agency won't.

Then its the Agency that needs retouching not your legs.

Here's my version. Went for the full on fashion retouch. Little nips and tucks all over the photo. Fashion is a tough industry...

Fashion is a very tough industry thanks everyone for helping. After really looking at photo retouches. I realize that photo retouch is a art. I think photo retouchers should get credit on pictures. Because it takes more than just knowledge of adobe photoshop to fix a picture it takes vision, creativity and lots of imagination. Besides no model is perfect we all need photo retouch.

In most print-commercials the retoucher gets a credit. Although not as "retoucher" but as "colour". It's an old system, but at least I get credit.

Beth, you are gorgeous. I messed with the legs only because you asked.

Hi Beth, I just worked on your legs and mid-section a bit.

Here's my take - i created several adjustment layers to do fun things with the saturation and hue of the skirt and your skin. Also used Liquify to make the legs lean. Then I just did a bit of gaussian blur/art history tool to smooth out the jaggies on the skin.
