Touch-Up Tuesday!





Thought I would post something for touch-up tuesday since I usually always do post processing of my images. Thing is I used Paint Shop Pro X2 while most use Photo Shop so I can't really tell you what I've done but I'll try. Here is the SOOC shot:
It's ok but I think it's sorta drab and dull and her skin has a bluish grey color since it was taken in the shade. Here is the photo after I worked on it:
I ran the digital noise remover, sharpened the eyes, used the blemish remover. Then I added some warm textures that I used in dodge, overlay and multiply modes at different levels. I don't use any pre-made actions since I can't with Paint Shop Pro so I make them up as I go. Let me know if you like it. : )

    LOVE the warmth and texture you added! What a gorgeous shot. My new goal is to really get comfortable with using textures. They really do so much to enhance a photo! Yours is beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing! :-)
