A little more magic.

[F, Calla & Luca]

This time I found myself going back and forth between ACR and PS itself. My biggest hangup so face is how to do targeted adjustment  of skin tones.. I really may buy the class. So much to learn, who knows how much time. I changed this many times and it is still a work in progress.

This is Laurie's lovely daughter Hayley.

Update: 

Back to the drawing board. this is using both Camera Raw and Photoshop and I think it is more realistic.

Awww....there's my girl!! Thank you, F. This is a beautiful edit. I will show it to Hayley when she gets home.

[F, Calla & Luca]

I hope she'll like it. There are places that need work. More tutorials to watch : )

This is great--I really like that you cooled down the photo and added some nice softness.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Thanks, learning as I go. It's really got my interest now.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

DJ, How dare you imply my photo was not a masterpiece? LOL

[DJ & Chance]

:)  Let's just say that we have all improve a lot!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

F, Hayley was VERY impressed, BUT....and there is always a but with that kid....and now you will know what I live with on a daily basis....she gave you another assignment....she wants you to try and match her hands to her face tone. See, I told you she could be a brat :) Go ahead....let her have it :)

[F, Calla & Luca]

No worries. I am so glad she liked it. I was afraid she might be upset. The hands were overexposed and I had no clue why these orange blobs appeared on them but that was a warning. I am doing more videos and working on things. So wait for the update. Hayley will, I hope, be able to say, "I'm ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille!"

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

How dare you imply I overexposed part of my subject :) Orange blobs....oh my!! Can't wait to see the update.
