Hey guys. I recently got CS3 and wanted to test it out. I haven't retouched in a while, so I thought I would start up again since CS3 is much easier to retouch with than CS2. I didn't really do much to this picture, but I just removed most of the freckles (purposely left a bit so that it would look more realistic) on her legs and her face. Tell me what you think. :). Critique please.

Sorry that I didn't know how to do those fancy rollovers that everyone else does for their retouches. wink.gif

LOL MandiLynne.

I think freckles can look nice, it really depends on the subject and lighting/makeup. For this picture, I don't like the freckles because they look blotchy. Her skin is that fake orangy tone and the freckles make it look worse.

The freckles are subdued, not gone from her arms and I think the subdued version looks better. She still has freckles on her face too. I would have lightened her brows. Her hair looks brassier in the retouched version, I would have changed the blonde completely but she looks better in the retouched picture, good job!

The original picture was retouched, her skin already has a plastic look to it on her face, especially the nose and cheek and that was done by a pro.
