retouch my 40thing year old mom

[Jillianweedmark]

It's my mom's birthday on the 23rd. And I'd really like to have this photo of her retouched.
For her privacy I would like to do this by e-mail.
It's a beautiful photo of her and if anyone is interested I would LOVE LOVE LOVE you help with this. I would like to keep it as natural looking as possible. Just to retouch her skin a bit and the background.
I'm going to play around a bit.

My e-mail is Jillian_Weedmark@live.ca

PLEASE help me It would mean a lot to her (I plan on putting it on the front of her card

here we go again...

do you plan on paying someone for their "help" -- or are still looking for yet more freebie work? yeah, we know, you're working on it too...yadda, yadda, yadda!

some things never change...

*wah wah wah*

Please mind your P's and Q's.
I've done nothing wrong to you, and have asked nothing from you.

Jillian,

This forum isn't really the right one to post requests of this type. (thus pixeltek's response) We're all just a little touchy about help request because often people will come on who want nothing more than a free retouch job without contributing anything to the community as a whole. It's not that we necessarily expect payment for everything we do, it's just that this forum in particular is more for teaching and learning and helping each other grow as retouchers.

If you do want to make a request of this kind, I would suggest posting it in the "Classifieds" forum on this same site. That may get you a more favorable response. Hope this helps clear things up!

- thank you for your helpful responce.
I am certainly contributing my retouching on my own thread.
I fear that what I have to offer for other people won't be up to their standards yet. So I just keep to myself.
And on my thread I'm learning a lot.
I will post in the right spot next time, and I'm certainly not looking for freebies. I would dislike those types of people too.
Thanks, Jillian
