Digital Retouching..

Never believe what you see in a photograph.
Check out these sites I got from Matt Kloskowski's blog.

The first two sites you have to mouse over the photo to see the original version.

Glen Feron

Amy Dresser

Sugar Digital

I would estimate that 95% percent of professional photos are retouched to some degree. Less so with newspapers than magazines.
There are a lot of ethical considerations in journalism over photo retouching.
What if you get an important news worthy photo but some jerk is wearing a t-shirt or carrying a sign that says F* you?
Do you digitally erase the person or slogan or do you just run the photo as is?

I think you did pretty good. But.... since you asked...

the dark coloring on the right side of the face (actually the left side of her)

dark shadows under eyes

white around the mouth area

and while you are at it, why not "hide" the crows feet around the eyes.

Other than that, WOW. You sure this was the first one you ever did?

If I send you one of me, will you attempt your magic with it?

what I think is.... I'm not getting the garden planted; these games are addictive!!! but I see Reemer is down one more....

As for Proselect..... I love that top photo on their website.

Do you have any idea of the cost?

Did you read the "sell while you sleep" part? WE (not Todd alone, but we) could sell his Justice collage there too.

You may be on to something Joe. I think CREATIVITY is the name of the game.
