Totally Retouched

    I did lots and lots of Photoshopping on this one. Please don't leave any comments about how great my skin it, it's really not this flawless.

      Unbelievable PS work, then, really, I'm impressed! But I have seen your skin in person, and it's pretty lovely anyway!

      It's crazy retouched! Although I do have good skin in general, I have super insane undereye circles which I completely erased in this picture. One of the benefits of wearing glasses is that they kind of camoflauge the bags, or at least make them less noticeable, because I hate wearing concealer. I don't usually wear makeup ata all, which probaby helps keep my skin clear.

      It's just funny to me how easy to make a "fashion magazine" type photo in Photoshop. It makes you realize how fake everything out there really is. I should post the unretouched picture, just for comparison.

      yeah, do. i think i like you better regular. : ) the job you did is pretty amazing, but the clean-up under your eyes is a little too perfect, kinda hyper-real, you know what i mean? and something about your eyes, while very KA-POW! is a little zombified to me (maybe because of how perfect it is underneath, not sure).

      Yeah, I was trying to make it as fake as I could. 'Tis wacky what you can do with a computer these days.

      wow, not that there was anything ugly about the real shot but you really made this one super....I haven't got the photoshop touch down yet...in fact I'm quite intimidated by it.

      This book is great for doing photos in Photoshop: "The Photoshop CS Book for Digital Photographers". I highly recommend it. Instead of going on and on about theory, it just has tons of settings you can use for different effects.

      This is a beautiful touched up photo! I think this is the best photo of the two!

      I looked up the book, wow that is one very expensive book for my limited allowance! lol I'd have to quit eating lunch for a week

      Try to find a used copy. It doesn't come with a cd or anything, but it's the best Photoshop for Digital Cameras book I've ever seen.

      Hahah, I'm going to be 34 in a few short days. I'm having a hard time believe it myself.

      Well, in this photo you look like jailbait to me...I would card you.
