Oh please, let me clarify. No need to get defensive.
I am female.
This was not for a yearbook.
I would have never faked a picture for a yearbook. Tweak them yes, make the quality better yes.
This was an independent project I did for fun.
I provided this as an example of my past work. (and I've noticed I tend to make them a bit yellow, as I like the earthy/old look

)
I would really like to see someone else's photoshoped images, the original and manipulated.
And thanks for the advice, both of you.
