For a friend- Before and After pics! :)

My ex-girlfriend Amy and I are very close friends now and I decided to take one of the pictures I took of her when we were dating and make it into something cool here's the original photo:




And here's my photoshopped version:



Notice the little changes that make allll the difference? Tell me what you thinkkk.

 

I like it a lot. I really don't have anything bad to say. But I don't think she blends well with the background, or matches...idk But I still really like it.

 

Good job, only problem I see is that the top of the head was not very well rendered.

 

Oh damn. You're right. Ah well, it's hard to render hair but I could have done a better job there.

 

I see what you did =o. Those eyes, and curves?

 

Eyes, lips, face, curves (slightly, but just enough).

 

I see the curves, eyes, lips, but did the face have color enhanced or was it the curves?

edit: I gave it a shot.

 

I love the shadow effect, well done

 

Looks better in the shade you made.

 

Changing eye color is really easy. Just make a selection around the color part of the eyes (pupil included is fine) and go to Image >> Adjustments >> Color Balance and mess around with that. If you did the selection part cleanly it should turn out flawless.

 

Very, nice.

^ Thats how I've always done it, but Cntrl-U works just aswell D:

 

I guess my only obligation would be that it couldve done without the tree brush, you couldve maybe put some more splatters in there or take out the platters or add something else to go with the trees idk I dont do alot of big art.
Also I think you could have lightened her up a bit and maybe used a filter layer for effect. but thats just my opinions lol

 

My biggest recommendation is to not use the flash on the camera in the future. Turn a light on and open some windows up for good, multiple-angle lighting.

 

It isnt rendered well. I dont like the blending

 

i really like it alot better than anything i cud do

 

Background doesn't seem to fit well with the render. Otherwise, it looks good.

 

thats pretty nice! although the text could be more readable, and you could make it more exciting by adding some more shapes maybe, or a bit of colour that complements the over all image.

 

very nice

 

Thats really not that bad. I love that white line going around her.
Try using a different text, that one looks plain. Also YOU ADDED A BORDER.
Well done.

 

That looks really nice, I like it.
