AFTER CLOSE UP FINE DETAIL

click on the images here under for a small crappy 100 kb size file to see the overall retouch.

(i had to crop it because if i did not the file would be to big)

What i did;
fixed:
eyebrow
her asymmetrical chin
here nose
hair
skin (D&B)
some color corrections
her neckless
nails
lips (softer and more glossy)

i left a spot in her neck to hold it more human.

Why let someone else make money off of your downloads?

... I hate rapidshare. If anyone should be making money off of the downloads it's the content creator. I have nothing against free and unlimited hosting sites just thought I would throw this one in as an option too I could have pasted the link that would give me reseller credit through the site but I don't feel like doing something that could get me banned here

Not trying to be argumentative but I am curious to understand the ethics involved. What appears to be more of a commercial image rather then a portrait. Is it not alright to make changes to the bone structure? I feel that Ruuds first post on this thread with the exception of the bottom lip made her look more refine and attractive. Can anybody explain the do's and don't as far as the ethics side of the retouching business?

It depends.

I think Rudd did a very good work with this model, and I like a lot his result, the model looks great, better and so so atractive. Now, the question comes:
Was a good Idea reshaping the chin? In this case, yes.

If this retouch was for a client, here you have the "it depends". Like KR said, sometimes you have a model casting where you are looking for something (bones, the girl with the two teeth too separate i have posted, ......). In this case, reshaping is not a good idea and solution, cause the cliente or the art director says: No!!!

I think we have no general rules for this matter. Each fashion work have a particular target, and the photographer and the art director have to speak with the retoucher and explain it to him/her, cause the retoucher don´t know it.

Last week I have been in Egypt in a fashion editorial working with a photographer and, in this case, we have been shooting with a wideangle lens very close to the models face. Is this correct? No. But the photographer was trying to get a particular picture, cause the model have a very special shape in her face. The result: fantastic.

So, no strict rules in this matter. Sometimes, rules finish where the creativity begins.

Sorry for my English.
