This is another shot of the girl at the parade who was so cute, she had really intense eyes but the lighting was just not catching them, i thought i would try a different more dramatic type of processing and this i what i came up with.
I recently saw a PS tutorial where the person had done similar processing but added in noise for the skin (as in he had the layer with the healed/fixed up/noise ninja-ed skin, and used the add noise function, before using a layer mask and painting the skin onto her face). I don't know if this would work for her skin, but it might be a simple way to make her skin look less 'plastic-like'.
I haven't really tried it myself, but it seemed like a good idea...? (-:
I really like the processing you did on the girl. The one thing that bothers me is the halo around her. Some people like that, but it just not to my taste.
Aside from a bit too much lack of skin texture in my opinion, it's awesome!
Yeah thats also part of what i was asking about, she barely had any texture but i wanted her to have a dreamy doll-like quality about her, maybe ille run it through again without using neatimage
