Prettyb-ran Before After

I finally created a Before and After of this photo. The original and retouched photos were uploaded in April of 2007. You can see them by clicking on the set - Pretty b-ran Photoshop fun.

 

I saw this post on June 21, '06. I love manipulating photos. Just for fun I adjusted the color. Then couldn't stop and continued on with the retouching.

 

What did I do? I used a little digital powder to take those shiny spots off his forehead, the tip of his nose and that little shine on his chin, where the color blew out completely. I also cleared up the rest of the tiny blemishes, smoothed out the skin tone. I hope I didn't remove any freckles! I didn't want to change him.

 

Then I brought a little more red back into the photo. Also tightened up the levels for a better contrast and bumped up the color just a bit to brighten up his shirt and the couch. I even straightened the lampshade. hahaha

 

There is another photo in the set that was just for fun. I gave him a little plastic surgery. Just a bit of a brow lift. I just wanted to see if I could do it.

 

I showed it to Brandon in a private set and he agreed to let me show my work on this stream.

 

I just do this for fun. Like some people do jigsaw puzzles. He was such a handsome guy, I thought it would be fun to take what was a good photo and try to make it better.
