So yeahh, I've still been stuck on retouching and makeovering photos. Just wanted to share the latest I've taken with my amateur camera. I'm no photographer whatsoever, but I wanted to see what I could do to them in Photoshop. And yes, I'm an abuser of vignettes. :/

^ Holy shit you're so f*ckin (insert racial caricature here)!

... yeah. Seriously?



I don't like on 24 how the background completely washes white. It just looks like bad glare. Otherwise, they're pretty good! And I LOVE the sidebar on 26, though I think the grey areas (name and corresponding blank spot) should still be black, just to balance things out with his shirt. thumbsup.gif

i love looking at these.


over all i think they look good. the lighting annoys me on some. it looks like too much, overexposed with a lot of white places. that's the only thing that really bugs me much.


i don't agree with people who said you should have taken those "bags" out. it wouldn't even look like her imo. those aren't bags from not getting sleep i don't think...i duno. i have puffy places under my eyes too and it's not bags under my eyes. it's just how my eyes are, it would look weird if they were taken out. probably the same with that girl

Agreed. Have y'all never seen someone of Asian descent smile before? It's just what happens. Kinda like how lots of European descendants have dimples. Cripes.

Thanks guys.

Haha, the main reason I didn't take out eyebags from #23 in particular is cause she's my bestie, lol.

JC: Would you mind pointing out which ones I could use better lighting on? I'll admit I have been feeling like I set my images too bright now.

24 is where it stands out a lot to me. i don't like that you lose the texture in the background and it turns into just bright white. there's other place, like on their hands, where it gets so bright that it's white too.

i really like 26 in general, but i don't like how it gets extremely white either and loses all the detail in the road behind him.

those are the main ones that i think were too much. the others might have some places here or there that i think didn't need to be as bright on their skin or something, but it doesn't stand out as much as 24 and 26. i think those white places on those are kinda distracting.

I agree with them.


19) Very nice. The first thing that I thought needed to be edited was her shirt and you did it. Nooice. I like the effects as well.
20) Lol @ you editing his right eyebrow. Again I like it. I'm a bit iffy on the lighting though.
21) Probably one of my favorites.
22) Not really sure about the lighting. Well actually, it looks alright.
23) Looks great.
24) Lighting is bad. Like JC said, you lose the texture in the back.
25) Love the editing.
26) I totally agree with HeartOfPandora. (Sorry that I dk your name >.<)

As always, they're great overall. You just have some minor things to fix. thumbsup.gif
