| | | Re: African American Skin Nice shot..
These skin tones are very subjective and depend on personal preferences and what the client likes.
just did levels adjustment and then desaturated a bit and healed some bumps

| | | Re: African American Skin Those look VERY nice, i love yours baldy, I think her hair and jewelry came out nicely, overall very nice. And ecols, i like her skin ALOT, it looks like bronze, only thing was that the hair matches her skin alil, i dont think the shot is two yellow, it brought alot of life to her skin. Just the hair, whic wouldnt even be a big deal if her hair was that color, which it looks like it could be, but very nice, i'll be posting mines in a few more minutes, our power went off and then came right back on before i was able to save my work. |
