This is a beautiful photo, PhotoMom. . . .!!

I love how changing the background brings out the model. . . but I think that changing the skin tones is defeating to the photo as you captured it just right in the first place. . . job well done

I would agree. . . I once was a strong advocate for small changes, but anymore I think that too many details get "porcelain-ized" in the process.

The same principle holds true as artists, in that sometimes you need to pull away from over-working some area, . . because working further "muddies-up" the picture.

I still advocate getting the correct shot in the first place!

Here's the before:


Here's the after:


This was done with Portrait Professional. So simple even a person from the South can do it.

Mojo, looks ok, try duplicating the layer, apply your skin smoothening on to that layer and dial back the opacity to the magic 25-30% and see if you like it better. Her skin look way too smooth, me want to see more pores, etc. Egads, that's what happens when a fellow from the west jumps the gun and don't read that you did this with Portrait Professional...lol. That's one gripe I have with that proggy, it is obvious something has been done.

I've not got an example here but thought I'd add Noise Ninja is a really quick and easy way to smooth out skin while retaining sharpness. I usually copy to another layer run noise ninja then use a softish brush (with the opacity turned down in delicate transition areas) to remove parts of the smoothed layer that don't need it. I should be using a layer mask but I rarely do.
