Smile Re: Now to Really test your skills!

I wanted to add a mole in about the same spot as Matthew did but I've already spent too much time on her. Thank you VERY much for letting us play with an image large enough to do some really nice work with

I went with several phases of ByRo's degrunge technique and then a lot of cloning and D&Bing. For the skin that's out of focus I used a box blur at 16px, set the blur layer to 'lighter color' blend mode, hide all mask and painted it in where I wanted to get rid of the armpit hair stubble and dark spots in the out of focus skin areas.

I think mine looks a little too mannequin like for my taste but it's probably the best I think I've ever done with trying to keep a skin texture.

Re: Now to Really test your skills!

I'm new here, so I'd appreciate any feedback. I only worked on the facial complexion, and didn't worry about the fingers and fingernails, which obviously need correcting as well..

Hi
My first post and my first retouch here, so don't be too hard on me please.

A lot of healing brush, some skintone corrections and brand new fingernails.

Re: Now to Really test your skills!

I was challenged to do this retouch with my old, cheap PhotoImpact 8 editor. I'm game! Absolute cloning, D&B, saturated lips, adjusted color with curves, cropped, rotated (looked more like a reclining pose to me), added vignette. Also replaced the missing fingernail and tried to correct the position of rings a bit.

Nice photography to work with.Here's my version. I ran out of time or I would have cleaned up her hair a bit more.
