Photoshop makeover; Oct. 19/ 2010

In this assignment Alyssa was photographed infront of a blank board backround using natural lighting and basic photoshop protocol editing. After using levels, colour balance, contrast, sharpening tool and channel mixer, adjustments were made with the lighting after turning the picture to a monotone and created a duplicated layer. On that duplicated layer the surface blur tool was used to make her skin looked softer, then her eyes, hair, mouth, nostrils and eyebrows to make the picture still look realistic. To finish it, the dodge tool was used to create a dramatic backround so that Alyssa was the main attention on the picture.
