On the Bandwagon!, Swapping between Before and After layers is Fun Options

[Comptine]

I was bored and for the first time in a week, I have some free time from college.

This is my first ever attempt at a retouch and I mostly blurred her wrinkles like crazy. =D And the saturation is kinda weird and the brightness is weird but yay! I had fun.

Btw, it's Hilary Swank.

I think its pretty good for a first attempt at a retouch. I just hate the icky blur on the bottom of her left eye. >___<. I can really tell that you used the blur tool too. Good thing I found a better way haha. I love the new hair color that you fixed with the saturation, but you should have duplicated the layer and then put the saturation, and then on the sated layer, you can erase her face. It would still have the hair color but the face wouldn't be that tanned. Good job though! :). Keep trying.

^I got a little click happy with the blur tool. The weird saturation came from 20 layers of switching between blending options.

it looks really good. for some reason the wrinkles at the side of her eyes for me are bothersome. like they should be blurred or toned down too. other than that. i love how you brighten her face and actually added color to a pale pic of her. wonderful job!

I actually decided to keep the crow's feet because most people keep those wrinkles when they laugh/smile, no matter how young you are. It did look weird after everything since the rest of her face is so smooth.

Thanks. =)
