Description

Here's the "cooked" version of the image. I did some work on the neck, the lips, the eyes and the overall skin tone. Since I am not an artist the work is minimal, usually using filters. She is for possible use in a hyper-3d logo.

Since I am red/green color blind I almost never hand alter the colors or rely on my eye to tell me about balance and skin tone.

What I did:

1) Copied the layer, blur 2 pixels, soft light and drop the opacity. That did the basic enhancement.

2) Hide the blur layer, copy her again for safety. Color burn/dodge the eyes a bit to brighten.

3) New layer over her, a little pure red on the lips. Soft light that layer, set it about 50% opacity.

4) Turn the blur layer back on

I would love suggestions for other improvements in her tone and the overall image.
