Another afternoon spent goofing around with a friend.

Good, fun shot!

Great shot. How much photoshopping did you do on her skin?

[wicks]

Quite a bit of airbrushing, a bit of "bloom" or "diffusuion" followed up with saturation to add the tan and then eye enhancement....

So to answer your question, quite a bit!

I honestly think that she is a beautiful girl, and she didn't need that much work done, her face has a red tone, I think you went a little overboard,
It is an excellent capture though.

That's just my two cents.

Correct on both counts. I'll post the original tommorow.
Local Magazines, in which she was featured, prefer the "altered" look.
I could supply a million "natural" images, but none would get picked up for publication.
Nice to see someone who appreciates an origianl stock photo! In todays day/age, stock photos do not make the cut tho.....
Thanks for looking!

If the altered look is what you want, try using Portrait Professional Max or Imagenomic Portraiture Plug-in the do a subtle but excellent Job.
I own both and let me tell you they do the greatest job.
you have full control on how much skin retouching you want to do.
download the trials give them a try, if you need help just PM me and I'll gladly help you.
