see this picture (gf)
well im practicing some photoshop
and well....
i did alot so far.well a little bit really.
softing her skin,bringin the shine on her necklice i bought her lol
brightin the skin up and her eye color
but
i dont like how her shirt looks..its brown and wrinkly..
any way i can change that?
i got photoshop cs4
also...any other details i should add?or changes

You messed with her eyes, didn't you? I can tell.

Ehhh... I think you shouldn't mess with the eyes. If that's actually her eye color, I suggest you darken it some. I also agree with Mike, just leave the shirt as it is, or else it would make it look really unrealistic.

what about the blue letters?

anything i can to the shirt?haha
and no i havent sharpenin it
what about the hair?

Yeah, make the colors pop out some more and I think it'll be just fine.

I would remove that pole thing on the wall. It's distracting.

Well, don't pop out the colors too much, because the image quality isn't that great..

For these type of pictures, I usually mess with the Skin tone and the background with Selective Coloring( Mess with specific colors ) , Curves( Change the tone of the picture ) and Brightness/Contrast( Mess with the lighting and contrast of the picture) and making the picture look more natural or pretty.


I made a 2MP picture look like it's taken from a 8MP. so that's the wonderful things photoshop can do.

and how can i do that?
and well am i doin good so far?

wowo it did help.how can i darkin the eyes?
and how much?

I like this tutorial for making the colours pop some.

b4 i see that
i played with selective colourin and i got this
its much brighter
you think this is good?
and.......i really should fix the lips huh?
how can i do that?

No, that colouring doesn't look any better.

What do you mean by "fix the lips"?

so what can i do with that?





the black.in the middle.should i darkenin it?
or/and fix the color of the lips?if so. to what?

yeaaa something wrong with the lips.
looks like someone painted over them 2 me.

and the results :



i dont like the lips at all

It still has that Magenta (pink) tint to it. :\ Try messing around with the levels too. (Image > Adjustments > Levels)

darkin it or lightin it?
and
really i think it looks good.her favorite color pink anyways ill darkin that a little bit if you think i should

the lips doesnt look even
well...i cant tell.look at the normal image
before i edited it and tell me if its worster or what can i do?
and what file type should i be saving in?
.png or .jpg





okay heres a result:

haha okay,and does the image look anybetter?

okay. how am i doing so far with the image

1.) CS4 - that's an expensive program for someone toying around!
2.) Why would you want to brighten her skin?

Actually, I have no advice. I don't know what the heck I'm doin' in Photoshop.
