I know this is a nature based forum, but for those of you who also do model gigs, here is a link to a retouch tutorial you may find handy. Be warned, the final retouch is borderline cartoonish. Not necessarily a real looking end result.

Final = last call
Original = the next morning

Thanks for sharing the link, Matt.

I'm doing quite some retouching myself and I have to say that the example on that site is mediocre (her teeth are ridiculous and that flare on the necklace ... :O). If you're really interested in good retouching you should head over to www.retouchpro.com and start your research from there. They point out a lot of great sites and have a very good and rather professional forum.

Cheers ... Andreas.

Hi Andreas.
Retouchpro is a great site.
The example I posted is over done.
I wanted to show what seems to be status quo look on some of the model and make-up sites.
Also, some common quick tools that people seem to be using for their retouch.
You have to admit the flare made you chuckle. :biggrin:
