Headshot

from John Kantor (jkantor@mindspring.com)
This is a before and after retouching of a headshot I just did. There were two problems when I shot the original: 1) that my fill was too low and I got shadows in her eyes and above her mouth (I didn't have an assistant and had to balance the reflector against my legs) and 2) her eye makeup wasn't quite good enough to eliminate her natural sark circles. I retouched it in Photoshop my making selections with the pen tool and adjusting the levels. This technique seems to work quite well. It allows you to tone down areas without losing detail (which you can see at full size).
