Brand New Gallery - Retouching

[pstewart]

I have added a gallery containing retouched photos. Chubby women become thin, old women become young, green and yellow babies turn healthy and pink again, and black and white photos are colorized.

Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

Thanks, Nina, for the nice remarks. As Don suggests, come by my http://www.innographx.com/forum/ site (it's free to join) and practice with us and get some tips on different methods. We have some retouching tutorials, and a variety of mini-tutes and actions for tonal correction that are great for any b/w photo. So, stop by and feel free to ask some questions in the "Retouching Discussion" forum. You may even post a pic there for us to analyze and retouch to get started. Working together on the same photo is a great way for folks to learn what others would do and what works best.

As for software, I use PS7 almost exclusively, but there are a few great plug-ins I've added that help a lot in retouching. It's all on the site. Hope to see you there!
