LOL. Totally different technique. Briefly...Usual corrections ( levels, sat, curves ) then I over-sharpen the image, smudge skin with smudge tool @ 25% strength . Add color and details with paint brush on separate layer. I use the rough round bristle on hair and eyes @ around 80% strength. Let me know if you need more details but basically that's it. :-)

Sweets i just love it when you act all dense ( that's me with camera settings )

when you use the aniso filter if you look you get a sort of curly effect, so rotate it 90degrees and reapply and it puts more curly effect which in effect smooths everything then of course rotate it back to normal afterwards

Eda as you know i love your style keep it up ( and the fake way is great for speed)

This aging, once-polluted brain gets stuck in neutral sometimes Miss Palms...... Poor Eda had never spoken to me before, just what do you think she's thinking haaa

[Kraellin]

excellent find, peter!

and some truly stellar renditions here!

i had a go also. i used my simple simplifier technique to start, then some brightness/contrast and curves. oops, that's backwards. contrast first, then simplified. after that it was re-lighting and a bit of a crop for more punch.

beautiful little girl. always makes it easier when you have art to start with

[Sweetlight]

I like your a lot Craig. I would have dropped some subtle needle sized catch lights in her eyes. Just me.

Ain't it great when Palms calls me "SWEETS"

[Kraellin]

thanks, sweets

actually, i did go for the tiny catchlights at first, or rather, putting more emphasis on the eyes with tiny spotlights, but it didnt work so well the way i tried, so i backed off and just did this.

or course, with digital, we can always go back and change things

[Sweetlight]

Maybe as simple as that?

[Kraellin]

oh, ok. i see.

hmmm, how about like this?

Me Likey! Very Mysterious!

[Sweetlight]

It's almost there for me.
You have to learn to see the direction of the light and see where they should lay. If you look at your original close enough you can see where they actually are. Your one on the right is a bit big and bright for me.
