Maggie Before and After Using PhotoShop 6
Uploaded: March 07, 2004
Lowered saturation to - 65, softened the purple rings under eyes, defined her eyelashes with the burn tool, straightened her crooked pouty lip a bit with the liquify button as well as straighten out her chin a tiny bit, smoothed her skin with about an 11% opacity paint brush of her skin tone, used the burn tool on her hair, removed blemishes, removed white dots on shirt, just slightly burned her lips and eyebrows for definition, dodged the whites of her eyes slightly.

The altered is lovely - the original is too pink in the skin tones. Those eyes are lovely and they are highlighted beautifully in the second version...good job. #104694Angela E. Wright March 07, 2004
Thanks Amanda! I spend a lot of time playing in PS!Kathleen R. Struckle March 07, 2004
Beautiful work,Angela!! You did a great job. The child is beautiful to begin with. Great altering. #413301Angela E. Wright March 07, 2004
Thank you Kathleen, I wanted to maintain all aspects of the child - just refine the details in a manner of speaking... I never want a person to look at the photo and say what have you done? This doesn't even look like the same child!! LOL! so, thanks for your kind words. She is a beautiful child (my friends daughter) so she is easy to work with. #413313Kristen McKain March 08, 2004
great image! #413384Jenny D May 12, 2006
I really appreciate you explaining how you did this. I have been playing around with PS for a little while and there's so much to learn! But I have especially been trying to figure out how to smooth skin tones & you just helped A LOT! #2757622Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
