Yeah, ironic, I know.

I really, really should be studying for my Biology provincial exam coming up on Monday. Instead, I did another retouch. SO ADDICTING.

Here you go. They're all thumbnails, so click away!

Original:


Retouched:


Original Close-up:


Retouched Close-up (REVISED):


EDIT// The overdone-ness of it was beginning to annoy me, so I toned it down a bit, yay. Uh, the "original retouch" is here: http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/8673/keir...uchcloseji2.jpg

Wow! After having stared at the retouch for a while, Keira Knightley looks like an old hag in the original. Her skin tone looks beautiful! And I really love how you left the beauty spots on. And eyelining the bottom of her eyes was a nice touch. MUCH better than any airbrushed picture I've seen of her on magazines. =]

Very nice retouch. Her skin just looks a little too unnaturally flawless.

Haha, yeah, when I was done I thought I went a little overboard too. Oh well. If you're gonna retouch, might as well go the whole nine yards.

Thanks Joanne, I really don't like removing moles and beauty marks. Looks too unnatural.

(I only used that smiley because I've never seen it before. But it looks retarded.)

It looks like an advertisement. xD I agree, though, it's a huge difference compared to the original. The eyes and lips look amazing.

I hate pictures where people's heads look detached from their bodies >.<

Keira Knightley does look freakishly old in the original. Though I think you made the after very pale, but definitely better thumbsup.gif

^ Not so much pale, as tone adjustment. I tend to think that warm-toned photos don't look at good as cool-toned ones. Oh, and I toned down the overly cyan background.

Her head looks detached from her body? Actually the reason I chose this picture is that it's probably the only picture I like of Keira Knightley. She actually looks cute here. Ironic how I decided to retouch it anyway.

I wish I could do this as a profession.
