Treasure Hunt: Improve a portrait- digital make over. OK, I have been struggling with this myself! Not one who professes to be good with make-up I hope this is an improvement? :-) With the use of layers on every bit of work I have added eye shadow, whitened the whites, lightened and saturated the iris, applied blusher and lipstick. I removed one little blemish. I played with blending modes and found a way for photoshop to retain the skin textures as I worked. I copied all the layers together when 'finished' to one new layer then copied that layer and added a small amount of Gaussian blur, selecting the eraser tool I then cut out the eyes and mouth to bring them back to sharp focus. I was going to add some eyelashes and mascara but my bums gone o sleep... gotta go stretch my legs and rest my eyes :-) One thing was accidental but looked ok so I left it in and that was I somehow shrank the image left to right which made her face thinner! :-) i have not had the time to do a walk through but will if anyone wants me to

Treasure Hunt: PP; Replacement Hair... Here I have replaced the models hair with an explosion of holi powder from a street party back in March, each colour was literally thrown by individual revellers during the 'Festival of Colour' I cropped the street party tightly to the cloud of dusty colour, copied a layer then applied a small amount of zoom blur to that layer and lowered it's opacity just to hint at some movement. then I copied the models image to another layer and masked out the bits I didn't want! Masking is better than 'erasing' because you can immediately repair any mistakes with ease.
