    Default Before and After photoshop

    Hi everyone...

    I did another shoot of my sis-in-law and here is the first edit I made...

    Picture 1 is the before
    Picture 2 is the after (mind you, she was next to me and asked for all these changes)
    Picture 3 is the laundry list of things I touched among some others not listed...

    Comments... feedback... [email protected]

    The photoshop looks great - the pics are good for myspace maybe - but I wouldn't book model jobs or try Internet dating - someone might get a little upset.

    I don't get why you moved her piercing or added a tattoo...

    Thanks for the replies... actually, she wanted the drastic change. She wanted to showoff her picture to her girlfriend who's been competing with her to see who has the best pictures.

    She's 40 and married with 2 kids... So no, she's not looking for internet dating or even on any website at all. It's for her personal album...

    Side note, the original came out fairly decent since it was taken in a makeshift studio in my garage with 2 lights and my trusty digital rebel camera. I purposely told her not to put much makeup except foundation as most of that stuff can be added easier in post production.

    Again, thanks for the feedback...

    She wanted something drastic and totally different. Could have left it but she wanted the "bad girl" look. Let's just say, it's a "stage" I guess at the moment...

    I think the change is amazing! She really doesn't look like the same person at all though. She looks 20 years younger and maybe a different nationality!

    You didn't blend her chest well enough either. The tan color stands out quite obviously and is definitely not an "even skin tone". I almost think you made her lips look worse. The shape is better but the color looks weird to me. Undo whatever you did to her cheeks and I think it would be a lot better and far less fake looking. Its like you took the ethnicity right out of her instead of enhancing her as she is.

    I would have added some more hair around her shoulders. It looks a bit scraggly and that wouldn't be hard to add some volume.

    Will her friend's pictures be photoshopped?

    Wow.. thanks for the detailed suggestion. I'll take your suggestion and re-work some of it. The chest area is indeed uneven but I didn't bother to go back and fix it after I tried to match the face color. There were too many patches and blotches on her chest unlike her legs so I did the best that I could. I was hoping no one had such an keen eye to notice.

    As for the lip color, she actually wanted that color. She sat down right next to me for the entire 2 hours with her suggestion. I think that's subjective.

    The cheek was reshaped per her suggestion as well. I did ask her multiple times if she wanted that change and she said the more drastic the better. I do agree that it does changes her look completely.

    Oh yeah... her friend paid $700 for a shoot that was highly photoshopped so they had this competition going and she came to me for free help.

    I bet photoshop plays this dramatic a role in mag pix.

    wow, makes me wonder what those celebrities in magazines start out looking like, cause that's a big difference
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    :sigh: I know it's for the art of the competition but, but, but damn too much change! I guess that is the purpose.

    On a side note you forgot to rejuvenate her heels.

    She doesn't even look like herself anymore. It's amazing what comps and artists can do, but way too much going on here.

    Being a photo shop user for the past few years, believe me when I say all those magazine pictures you see of models with closeups of the face, notice how the broad has NO PORES. Airbrushing = Makes a woman flawless.

    Personally the second picture would've looked better without the lightning of the eyes... Looks pretty unnatural, especially for an Asian woman.
