I can hardly remember what life was like without Photoshop...what a marvelous tool!

Great job. How did you get the skin color so good?

Thanks! Brightened the girl with levels and med opacity screen mode (had girl on separate layer). Then using Photoshop "brush" tool set to color mode at about 20%, went over the skin with a flesh tone to get out the blues and speckles. Last, used the "smudge" tool at about 30-40% to smooth along skin shadows and neaten the hair. This is not supposed to look like an actual photo, which I admitted when I posted it in the retouching forum.

If you are interested in photo retouching, we have some examples and tutes and tips at http://www.innographx.com/forum For example, there are some good ones of Pbase's Waynette (/wtraub) here: http://www.innographx.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=869
