Photo touch up request

[Dreamers]

Thanks ibclare.

It truely is just a hard image, I did various editing on this one myself and starting with a happy smile I actualy ended up nearly pulling my hair out (well prety close hehe).
I think some pictures will be just the way they are and perhaps not touching them at all :( , but as the life goes on, I'm still learning PS though, so picking up as much as possible here on the forum.
Maybe I just put a christmas hat on there lol. But hey, like I said. It's not a competition or something, I realy like to view different aspects and so.

I would like to thank everyone for helping on this one. I realy apreciate it

I painted my version in, the face portions i mean - i used smudger and liquifryer.

Yes, about some pictures are what they are. You can always improve on them to some degree. But as I am sure you know, the best way to get a good editable photograph is to take a good one to begin wiht. We're often asked by friends and family to do miracles with poor quality photos and that's where we pull out the tricks we learn. You'll learn more about correcting color balance, adjusting exposures, and whatnot as you go along. I'm still learning. You asked about sharpening. This picture didn't need any. But look into using high pass for sharpening. It can be a subtle and non-destructive method. Keep sharing your efforts

- i used liquifryer.

and bbq sauce or something else?

[Paul]

You never noticed smudger lol.

Sweet chilli hot sauce mate.

Haven't tried the liquifyer. And I'm not touching the smudge tool yet because I mostly end up with a Smuuuuudgeeee lol

[Dreamers]

Nice work Paulie1108.
Thanks for posting them.

The black and white version I allready thought about that, but I wanted to keep it coloured though.

Thanks again,
Dreamers.
