Hi guys, I'm new here!
I was wondering is there anyone here interested in giving me some advices on retouching.
Is this good or too much? I was learning this by myself, with a help of tutorials, there were in the beginnings some over retouched portraits, that's why I need prefessional advice.
Thank you!
Need CC
Apart from bit wrong skin color (I think too saturated in shadows / uncontrolled redness) it's a quite ok retouch. If it would be mine photo I would consider asking model if it's ok to remove piercing (I personally think it takes out beauty instead of adding, but it's my subjective opinion). I like how the makeup color get out around eye, lips get's bit blurred, can't tell why.
Thanks, oh yes I have that skin tone problem for a while, it's over saturated or too much desaturated, sometimes I get it right, but usually I fight with it ahaha
I love piercings, they are part of her. Hmm I don't like blurry lips =( haha
No worries I also have problem with skin tones aswell, I think we all do struggle with it more or less, just with practice this can get somewhere better and better with time.
true =D
I think you've done a great job maintaining skin texture while addressing the blemishes. The unusual color in the hair, eye makeup,and lips is part of the story so it's tough to say the skin tone is wrong but maybe a little too orange/red. It's a big improvement over the "before" shot though. Good work!
Thanks =)
Yeah, she kinda looks too pale on the original, maybe I have over saturated it a bit, its a never ending struggle haha
I did it with frequency separation technique
