Notice how sharp my eyes are, how smooth and wrinkle free my skin is! It’s like a total photoshop makeover. Finally I look hot!

UPDATE:

For those who doubt my skills, this is a really ugly photograph of me. I just added the javascript to prove it. Mouse over to see the original… in all its “I just woke up” glory….

    I think you look better in the un-retouched one.
    Somthing about the photoshoped one makes it look alien. Ur right inner eyelid is droppy and lower than your left eyelid ( a lot of ppl have this) so photoshop that + pull back your jaw when taking pics will make it look tons better.

    There is tutorial for fast and simple retouch in photoshop. http://www.fotografia.kopernet.org/retusz.html there is no English version, but pictures are clear and tools names are in English.

    My opinion is that the retouching is obvious.
    I needs to be more subtle and not really noticeable.

    The retouched photo looks alright, just a lil obvious that it’s been retouched. Try adding a bit of noise to the retouched area so it isn’t so soft looking

    I think this qualifies, except that I tell you in the title ;)

  11. I think the best photo retouching is where you can’t notice that it’s been retouched. Where it leaves you thinking, “Whoa – how did they take that?”

    Anyway – that’s my 2 cents. Great job on the eyes tho.
