Pretty in Red

[Lynnya]

Hi gang.. hoping this will be pretty easy... giving my self a break from the really hard ones... did a levels adjust.. curves for black and white and a neutral gray.. tad of vibrance and smidge of contrast...comments and suggestions welcome..

   

[Shadow]

[Lynnya]

Thanks Lyn... she's a sweetie for sure...

[Lynnya]

[Hannie]

Beautiful Lynn!
You could experiment with Color Balance, I tried it at  -17, -8, +27 (top down)

[Tess (Tassie D)]

Looks lovely except for the dirty knees. :)

[Lynnya]

Thanks Hannie and Tess.. will adjust color and work on dirty knees lol... they don't look quite so dirty on my screeen  :cool:

Beautiful job Lynn!  :up:

[Lynnya]

Thanks Mike.. still a little more to do..

[Lynnya]

Here she is with Hannie's tip and I cleaned up her white textured tights..can you see anything else...

She looks great Lynn. Only thing I can suggest is some skin smoothing on her face. Try targeting just the skin on her face with a gaussian blur layer and a mask. I used about 2.0 in this.

[Lynnya]

I agree with you Mike.. I usually do smooth a tad but Hannie yells at me for losing texture so in this case I left it.. I'll do it now lol.. thanks for the tip..

[Lynnya]

How's this Mike..

[Mshake]

Sweet!  :up:

 :mad: :mad: :mad:

Just kidding, Mike's tip is fine but in his version some of the texture was lost and the outlines of her face, mouth and nose lost definition.
I like Lynn's version where these details were spared.
