Sometimes on my photos I barely do anything except maybe up the contrast a bit; other times I like to give the whole photo a makeover. This week, since I have more young adults & senior portrait sessions in my future, my photographic goal has been to learn how to "makeover" these young people in my photos to make them look their best & downplay some of their temporary blemishes. I have been practicing on some photos I took of my sister a few years ago. I thought I'd acknowledge my photographic learning process here by sharing one of those photos in this week's blog hop.
What do you think? I use Paint Shop Pro 9. Any advice from other photographers who know the program how I could improve in this area?
And don't forget to go over to Pixel Perfect's blog & check out what other people can do with their photos. It is so much fun!

i love how you smoothed out her skin in the edit without making her look plastic-y. nice!
I love the smoothing on her face. Great job.
I love the difference in her skin, yet the photo still looks so natural. What a great edit!
I think you did great! It is a lot more natural than you sometimes see. (I myself struggle with a heavy hand!) Beautiful shot.
I think you did a wonderful job with the makeup!
Really great job keeping the image natural looking!!
Great job! Very natural and bright!
Love the smoothness the edit brought to the skin and the "pop" of the green background. :)

I love the color and the retouching! Great work!!
great job, awesome eyes!
I agree with everyone already. It's east to over edit. I have seen many portraits with "alien eyes"...her's look bright, but natural. Nice work!
what a beautiful edit. nicely done!
Beautifully done edit. She has gorgeous eyes!
the differences are SO subtle and yet take a really good picture and makes it amazing!
Beautiful! Her skin looks great and the green color is amazing. I agree, on overdoing it with the eyes, sometimes they dont look natural at all. NICE edit!
It’s a Good make over. I can see the lots of difference and it’s very suitable to that face.
I love the total set up and the girl smile add some more beauty to it.
In single word the girl in the just rocks by this make over.
