    Great series, thank you for your efforts! Question though, I was waiting for you to address the grooms purple hand? I'm just curious if thats something you would fix or are you thinking it's ok as is? For whatever reason it's all I can see when look at the photo 😉

    Thanks in advance!

    This is the most informative portrait retouching series I've seen on the tube.  Most excellent.  The only thing I would not have done is to make the lips more intense than the eyes since experience has lead me to believe the eyes are generally the preferred focal point of a portrait.  But I am not criticizing the master!  Thanks for the great vid's Pye.

    Awesome series, very subtle. But you gave here a little bit of a spaghetti-mouth. Especially the lower lip on the left. Nevertheless, great tutorial. I subbed for more, because you've learned me alot.

    The model is disarmingly beautiful, especially her eyes. Her age shows in the hair (mid- 40'ies, I believe). Quality genes. I can bet – based on experience – she'll be dazzling even in her seventies.

    Reguardless of if you went too far or not far enough it is really great to see how you used the tools and how you kept the subject looking real.

    I have a question, when you give the photos to your client, do you resize it or do you leave them the original size?

    Thanks for telling us what short cuts and menus you were clicking during all of the tutorials. I am a Photoshop newbie and that extra info was a big help without being distracting.

  21. @wilbertcs You hit it right on the head wilbertcs, while there is definitely a point where something can be too much, it relies heavily upon the retoucher's style and taste. Start looking closely at fashion and advertising images and you will see just how far they will go with images. Often times it is beyond what we would consider "correct." But, it is always good to lean towards the safe side, also keep in mind this image will look different on different screens and calibrations.
