I saw this tut

This will be our first tutorial on the subject of re-touching a photograph in photoshop. We will be working on a photo of a model and using a few techniques to smooth and even out the skin.

I thought oh kewl, as its a subject I’m quite fond of. I had a look at the methods in the tutorial and it felt a little odd as I’ve been taught a different way. So I decided to have a very quick go with the source image and compare my final result with the one done by the author.

Heres my quick attempt

The speed I carried out in, I probably haven’t got the color correct. I think she looks more like a cover model now though : )
I know the tut wasn’t for creating cover models.
