The moment I saw this picture I knew it had untapped potential. Initially, I went a bit crazy with the editing and ended up with a picture so flawless I swear I could smell plastic. Gone was the chemistry between the girls. Gone was the emotion. Damn it, I thought.
A mongoose can defeat a cobra so all hope wasn’t gone. It was just back to the drawing board. “This photo is about friendship so we don’t want to see two mannequins”, I said out loud. I was alone so I felt like a crazy person. Anyway, what we want to see is some skin. Umm, skin texture, I mean. That did the trick for the most part but I also had to get rid of the flimsy-looking necklace, fix their deformed faces and emphasize their eyes, among other things. There was one dilemma, though. I had to debate with myself over hair extensions. I won. No extensions were needed.
By the way, is it just me or does the girl on the left have some Teri Hatcher going on?
Have a nice day,
Buikhu

Hey man,
thats awesome. I tried having a go on photoshop retouching the other day, just for fun after I saw a few sites and then saw this program on TV. But on there this woman went from a facial ‘reoutching’ to a naked shoot. Damn they made her look AWESOME lol
Anyways, I had a go on a pic of my gf. It was taken with my housmates 350D and just before we went out, so she’s already got a fair bit of makeup on etc. But it would be fun to see an ‘experienced’ go on it.
