... depends on how viewer looks at that image. From my point of view, I look at your photo and see nothing but a girl sitting there smiling.
Sigh ... I gotta conceal those eyebags when I shoot her, even if I had to help her put on make-up MYSELF. Need me to 'turun tangan' in these kinda case.

Come come join me on my next shoot ... see how I use 'Photoshop' offline and apply color correction DIRECTLY onto a model's face

The one shinchan quoted is the one I touched up...removed eyebag and some facial imprefection + face smoothing. Not the original unedited picture.

Typical job you'd see done when cosmetics company send the pictures in for retouching job. Whether people like it or not, that's how things are done in the cosmetics industry...there's not that many girls with perfect face out there I still remember watching shiseido ad and wah lau...the girl with perfect straight hair and perfect face that is fair + smooth and silky...

Everyone is witness ... you FFK you DIE!

What Alamaklor did was DIGITALLY removing the entire buldge area of the human eye, that's the problem with human intervention into a photographic image. Now you see how bad the image had turned into? What COSMETICS does is do concealing work, not hide facial 'imperfections'. The human face is never perfect ... the reason why there's an outcry that Caryn looked fake is becoz you all have seen the ORIGINAL imperfect image. Problem with most girl-shooters are: the never know what to do more when faced with a pretty girl ... as long as she's pretty, female, cute, sexy, friendly, they just shoot. Compo, exposure settings, ISO, metering and white balance sometimes go out the window also. A portrait photographer on the other hand would look into necessary details and see what more can be done in order that his images would turn out just the way he wanted.

I dunno why Travis didn't remove her heavy eyebags ... maybe he didn't know, maybe he didn't care. Judging from his feedback to the comments he got, most likely he didn't care becoz he was too 'mesmerized by her smile'.

I still get the wah lau feel after looking at touched up, then back to original...and this wah lau is not the scream of joy....it's the freaked out scream...the eye bag really geng

yesterday i was doing some R&D on different technique of facial touch up...and I stumble across this site:

In one way it is really cool...in another...it is freaking overdone....the final picture look like those in final fantasy the spirits within  this is what I called overkill....

I think the first two photos look a little too warm on the WB side. Shot in RAW or JPEG? If RAW still can correct it but if in JPEG can still tweak it but a little harder.

not enuf bokeh wor...
