MAKE OVERS: STEPH

Steph's photo below is not all that bad. Nice, warm, a little fuzzy, and it's obvious she got ready for at least the night, if not the photo. But we still see room for improvement around her eyes, with the skin tones and textures, and overall contrast in the picture.

I'll soften out the skin first:

Now, I'll up the whiteness in the eyes and teeth and fix the yellow patches of skin on the face. I fix the whites with the airbrush and the skin tones with an overall color adjustment toward the red end of the spectrum.

It's so nice when the camera's already done most of the work, but I can goose this one a little more. How about juicing the hair? Yes. Let's.

OK. All I need now is the final filter to put a little more oomph into the picture, and voila!

Let's see them side by side.

So, even when you start with a really good picture, there's always room for improvement when it's glamour you seek!

And... as an added bonus, I added an "India Ink" version of the last picture... Kinda sci-fi lookin', ain't it? ;-) Hehehe... I never drawed quite so good as I did until I got this here paint shop pro program...

NEXT:

It could be you! Send me email if you're interested in having me convert your picture from normal to stellar!
