    It's there now! :) Better colour, although possibly still a little too bright and contrasty thumb.gif

    nope..that is almost worse than before. skin looks super plastic and much of the tonality is just smeared away. teeth are overcooked as well

    OK, I'll have to get the monitor calibrated correctly. The plastic skin is probably a little heavy on the skin smoothing, but I'm seeing good skin tones and the teeth are a normal white. I'll work on it and repost once the calibration is complete.

    Skin tone is better than the original, but I still find it unnaturally bright.

    Btw, this thread just goes to show the HUGE variation between monitors. All three of us are calibrated, and yet we're still all seeing different things.... ne_nau.gif

    Qarik - Can you post the adjustments you made? I took Divamum and typed his in LR exactly as he had them and it didn't look right. I'd like to do the same with yours.

    Need some help. I tried to save the first file in post 19 so I could work on it. The link was not saved as shown but got some type of file and now it won't let me delete it. Same thing happened with one of Diva's files. Question, how to download the file and how to delete the two files it won't let me delete.

    Posing looks like you are trying to hard, less is more.
    Skin work needs work. Too soft, skin color is off.
    Don't whiten eyes and teeth until you gain more experience.
    This is where we all started :)....keep at it. Practice research....repeat....
    They were underexposed when you took them...which really makes getting the color right tough.

    My bad. You never know if the avatar is you, a close friend or what. And, yes, it looks like a young lady.
