Portrait PP for C&C

Roen

Looking for C&C on Post Processing only here, duffer pic to begin with. Greenish skin tone? Totally overdone? Pic links back to Flickr page, where all sizes button is available for a better look.
Cheers.

not a comment on your photoshop skills as such, but i'm always very wary of touching up faces in photoshop. i usually ask permission first, unless of course it's dust and scratch removal, or something similar.

I think it is an excellent job. This is one area I am always surprised in - how if you post a portrait people always assume that they are looking at an original image.

In this case if you had posted image #2 on its own people would not realise that they are already looking at an improved image. They would just guess that well - hey thats what the model looks like in real life. I think the processing on this is pretty effective without going overboard. Fair play to the model too for letting you post the before and after.

It's a pic from a long way back, over a year ago to be precise, I just wanted to see if I could mess a bit with it. And don't ask how I did it cos I don't keep track of anything I do.
As for the permission bit, that's an even longer story, suffice to say it's ok.

Corrected what I thought to be a greenish colour cast from the image above right.

Yeh, final image is much better, although I think you might wanna tone down the saturation a little bit. Since you took away the green, the other colours seem a bit too strong, suggesting it's been 'shopped. Mucho improvement on the original!

clone out some of the loose frizzy hair.. But I think in fullsize some of the edits are a bit obvious, all in all good job.
