Here is the file you will need:

Working on images of woman can be challenging BUT men often present even more issues.

Following these directions you need to retouch this photo of a man. Do the best you can but the end result is he needs to look better at the end than he does at the start. If his face looks plastic and his eyes are bulging, it is probably NOT correct. If something doesn't work the first time, redo it, delete and try again, go back in the history. You are nearing the end of this course and you need to trust your skills and your ability to look back to do things. You can do this!!

Your assignment is to add makeup and use other retouching tools to the woman to enhance the overall image. This is what I will be looking for.

1. Add/change color to her hair. 2. Change her lip color. 3. Change her eye color. 4. Add eye shadow to her eyes. 5. Use High/Pass filter to smooth skin appearance. 6. Use Dodge/Burn to enhance pupils and iris' (this was shown in the makeup lesson last week) 7. Use Sharpen to brighten eyelashes. (this was shown in the makeup lesson last week)

8. Use Smudge tool to soften the lines between eye shadow colors. (this was shown in the makeup lesson last week)

When you are finished email this to me as a Jpeg file.

 * File you will need: [[file:high_pass.JPG|high_pass.JPG]]

I will show you how to smooth out her skin. In addition, I will demonstrate how to use the HUE/SATURATION adjustment layer to add color to eyes and lips. When we are done you can use this information to add these final touches to the Digital Makeup assignment from last week and resend it with the adjustments.

Instructions for High Pass:

1. Copy the background layer. 2. Rename it High pass. 3. Change the High pass layer to Overlay. 4. Go to Filter>Other>High Pass. 5. Change the radius to 9 pixels. 6. Ctrl - I (Invert Selection) 7. Add a Adjustment Layer Mask 8. Ctrl -I (Invert Selection - Mask should be black now.) 9. Select Brush and brush over her skin, avoid nostrils, and creases in her skin.

Instructions for Hue/Saturation:

1. Select Hue/Saturation from adjustment layer icon. 2. Select Colorize 3. Select a hue that you like using the slider. 4. Select a saturation level. 5. Hit ok. 6. Ctrl - I 7. Select a brush and color over the eyes. 8. Repeat for lips and hair.

I have a video of this but there is no sound. If you are unsure what I am doing (things change but nothing was clicked on the screen) I was hitting CTRL I to inverse it (as shown in the instructions above). I will try and record a better version with sound later today.
