It also lost texture with the downsize but oh well...

This is great! If you don't mind, could you tell me how you got rid of the light/flare on the left side of her head?
Thanks

That, my friend, is the chef's secret hehe... I'm just kidding... If you take a good look at my go, you'll see I cut her hair on purpose, because of the bright flare. I painted over the background copying the background color, and then I used a lot of burning over her front hair, and painted hair over the zone...

Thanks, I noticed that you cut off the right side. I played around with it but I used a 50% grey layer and burned at different opacities. I couldn't get rid of the flare though. Thanks again

leopp,

I love your retouch. Nice clean face and skin...very vibrant colors which are very attractive. Nicely Done!!! Everything pops on the image for me.

Cheers

I'm late to the party, but thought I would give this image a shot. Was a great exercise in working with hair and though I wasn't totally able to eliminate the flare, I think it's been reduced enough to be acceptable. Feedback is welcome. Thanks again for a great image to work with!

For some reason every time I look at this picture, I think of replacing the lipstick tube with an ear of corn.

I think version 4 is great! But I loved your first too (09-01) for those vivid colours that missed in your later versions.

Thanks to all.

Hello Graphirus!

Thanks for giving us this great photograph to practice on!
Below is my version.

I would like to ask you if I can use the retouched image in my portfolio (I will credit you as the photographer).

Cheers,

I also would like to try this picture. Could you make it available again, please? It's soooo useful to have the full high res version to practice on.

Thank you!

This toning is exactly what I have been looking for. Can I send you a personal message or you explain in on here?
