removing facial shine
Sep 3, 2012 15:24:47 #
Here's my attempt with PickMonkey. It was tough to work on a thumnail but I also noticed that it looks like there was an excessive amount of sharpening done to the photo and a bit of noise. Was this cropped from a larger photo?? Anyway lets see how it looks on the UHH screen........

way too dark...no color pop....this was a challenging project due to 1.) her nautural skin color 2) the "shine" on the original 3.) the fact it was shot in a brightly lit foyer.
I really appreciate everyone's input!!!

Does the skin look better in this rendition?
Coco, I took the shine off her nose. I deleted the photo, here's the modified one.

Well after others commented on her jaundice skin color I tried backing off a bit of saturation, got rid of the shine and on my calibrated monitor this doesn't look too dark. I lightened it up, any better???

Do like your rendition the best if you get rid of the shine on the tip of her nose. Her skin looks very natural in your shot now lets see what the OP thinks......Does the skin look better in this rendition?

Looks perfect to me as mine looks like her liver is shot---that's what I got when I lightened the entire photo. I don't think your photo is too dark and it looks pretty close to my 1st attempt---wondering about OPs calibration as originals are definitely off color and lighting. I highly doubt this gals skin is orange.........Does the skin look better in this rendition?

:lol: :lol: :lol: You really made me laugh!! And thanks for your comments. Without seeing the graduate, can't be sure about coloring, but it looks fairly natural to me now. Skin tones are very difficult.

thanks again guys.I taught this young lady for over 6 months and she really does have sort of an orangey look to it.he is Ethiopian and they tend to have some very "different" skin tones.
A good point was brought up about calibration on my computer. I would appreciate some help here
thanks

Especially if her liver is shot, which it seems to be... poor thing, so beautiful with such a future but her liver needs replacement...

Well here is my rendition along with others. Using CS5
Image> duplicate> click ok. Then filter> blur> average. Then select original photo again and go, window> arrange> tile. Then bring up a levels adjustment layer, select the middle eyedropper, and click anywhere on the average blur. That took care of the harsh color cast. I then used a hue&saturation adjustment to bring down the saturation. finally used clone stamp tool on face to bring down the blown out areas, but not 100% out. I left just a hint on the nose and cheek to make it look natural.

Your ability to diagnose by way of a photograph amazes me. I can assure you as a Respiratory therapy instructor and a registered therapist of 25 years, this young lady whom I have had as a student for the past 6 months simply has a skin tone that most Ethiopians have, Maybe you better stick to playing with your computer and leave the medical stuff alone.
Thanks again to all of you and I'm glad I could provide a good subject for us to work with.
