Re: Dodge and Burn iz da Schnizzle!

Had another quick go, tried to keep it more natural looking, lost the blur and the magenta!

Re: Dodge and Burn iz da Schnizzle!

Hope you don't mind, but I think this picture is not very flattering as a shiny shimmery one and I am not too fussed about the colour. I had a play and felt a warmer tone and less de-wrinkling was more flattering, mind you this is not dodge and burn either

Re: Dodge and Burn iz da Schnizzle!

Here's what I did with your pic (I re-worked it from your revised pic).

this looks extremely fake.
this looks like something that took 2 minutes. Something from a store in the local mall.

But at least we have an example of what NOT to do

Re: Dodge and Burn iz da Schnizzle!

All this posting what you've done is all well and good but to my eye they aren't necessarily an improvement. I'm a learner looking for advice on the techniques I've used and whether any seasoned pros can point me in the direction of where I'm falling short.
Even an 'Ant bashing' would be appreciated!

Re: Dodge and Burn iz da Schnizzle!

What I'm now doing is healing major flaws and curve correcting colour issues. Flatten. Then using DnB to even out skin tone. Flatten. Applying a very subtle 'degrunge' based effect. Flatten. Enhancing contrast and colour, tweaking things like whites of eyes. Using a dupe layer (overlay, 50% grey) for overall shadow enhancement and finally sharpening.
