Posted in Family, Friends, Photoshop by Elliott Back on September 16th, 2005.

If you were to follow this great retouching in photoshop guide, you could totally produce pictures like this every time:

Notice how sharp my eyes are, how smooth and wrinkle free my skin is! It’s like a total photoshop makeover. Finally I look hot!

UPDATE:

For those who doubt my skills, this is a really ugly photograph of me. I just added the javascript to prove it. Mouse over to see the original… in all its “I just woke up” glory….

    I think the best photo retouching is where you can’t notice that it’s been retouched. Where it leaves you thinking, “Whoa - how did they take that?”

    Anyway - that’s my 2 cents. Great job on the eyes tho.

    I think this qualifies, except that I tell you in the title ;)

    The retouched photo looks alright, just a lil obvious that it’s been retouched. Try adding a bit of noise to the retouched area so it isn’t so soft looking

    My opinion is that the retouching is obvious.
    I needs to be more subtle and not really noticeable.
