Hey there,
I like what everyone said in my post yesterday. I really liked some of your comments. I decided to try and make a beautiful young person look even more beautiful(by fashion standards). I decided to use my fiance as a test subject. I think what made the last touch up bad was the lack of shadows around her nose originally. That made her nose and cheeks blend into one another. Let me know what you think of this beautiful shot.

This is fantastic. Great job, the editing is tasteful and understated, her skin doesn't look plasticky or have an absurd glow to it, wonderful work.

Oh yeah, I think you have really done well here John!
It's very realistic!

Nice job!

Awesome!

I would like to upload a basic version of this retouch as an album but I am having problems.

1. I can't find on my computer were custom actions are saved.
2. since I got the technique from a book I don't know if it is legal since it is not my own technique at all.

John, I like this one even more than yesterday!

...and your finance is GORGEOUS!!

I know

The touchup is great, the woman is gorgeous, but the image looks underexposed to me.

funny that I would go to all that work(which by the way is getting really fast with this action I made maybe 3 minutes) and forget to correct exposure. It was definitely underexposed. I pulled it up a bit. I also fixed the color and took out some red. It become more obviously red when I lightened it.
