Photo retouching myself

I love continuing to build my “bags of tricks” in Photoshop. This time, I purchased and followed a DVD by David Cuerdon called “Adobe Photoshop CS4 Beauty & Portrait Retouching Kit.” It’s not only very informative, it comes with a host of brushes, custom shapes, and color swatches that make photo retouching of people much more efficient. The delivery is a little slow, but it was well worth my Sunday.

Here’s my first effort since running through the tutorials. It’s a photo my husband took of me at Pier 39 in San Francisco earlier this year. “Before” is on top and “after” is below.

Yet another Photoshop goof-off

I solicited high-res photos from my online friends on a message board, and the first responder gave me photos of his baby. “300″ is copyright Warner Brothers, not me!

On top is the original photo.

Another retouched photo to wind up the weekend

I had so much fun with the photo retouching I did yesterday, I did another one today. I found this photo on Google images and attempted to take 20 years off her. What do you think?

A fun photo retouch

This is just a quick post to share some Photoshop fun I had today. I found a random guy on Google and tweaked him a bit. The result is sort of graphic novel-ly.
