Kristen Kreuk- ORIGINAL

Kristen Kreuk- RETOUCHED

What I did: (Jump between two images for direct comparison.)
*Removal of skins.de tag on the bottom left using Clone stamp tool
*Smoothed grainy background to one universal color
*Brightness +2, Contrast +5
*Color balance Red +4
*Saturation +6 (This alone makes most pictures look great instantly)
*I kissed the picture while full-screened
*Added my own tag, trying to be cool.

Not too shabby from someone all self-taught. :beer:

Feel free to use as your own wallpaper for LCD screens. (1280x1024)

 

[Amused]

*I kissed the picture while full-screened

Do the direct comparison by flash. Huge difference. The original looks like there's a foggy film over it now.

 

[GoingUp]

i can tell the difference and although it really wasnt a lot of work, i think it looks good

Nice improvement.

But you didn't "PWN" anything. You utilzed Photoshop to enhance the image. Without Photoshop, you would've been able to do nothing.

Duh, I'm just feeling silly with 'self-accomplishment.'

Meh. Hoop earings + overdone hair - one eye - lip gloss = less attractive.

 

[ThePresence]

Like someone said, it's about 5 seconds of work in PS. But n00bs tend to completely overdo things in PS, so :thumbsup:

Sorry, just not my bag. Not to say she hasn't looked scourching in other shots. She just looks a lot better with less crap on her.

 

[TheShiz]

i like the original better, too much color.

 

[nakedfrog]

I think you went a bit too far. It was a little dull before, but now it's surreal.

Her skin tone's a bit too harsh.
