Picure...Inhancement?

Ok I know this picture is REALLY stupid... it's not me... I just saw this as somebody's signature and I just wanted to know how he did it? Like he made the picture smoother and brighter?... does anyone know how he did it?! :(

Thanks

I'll help you a bit with spelling as well as with Photoshop: picture enhancement.


Ok, here's how I think he did it:

He first took his photo and made it two tone, probably black/white (CTRL-SHIFT-U). He then adjusted the levels to make it brighter (Image >>> Adjustments >>> Levels). The he might have blurred it a little bit, maybe 0.3-0.7 gaussian blur. Then he added scan lines, search for a tutorial on that, there are oodles of them. Then he overlayed a color... a dark orange or even burgundy. Then he added a simple polaroid effect and a crappy quote with an even crappier nick name since he's apparently in need of an ego-booster.

Thanks - but I don't think thats how he did it... I tried what you said and it didn't turn out like that. She how is face is perfectly smooth? I know his face isn't that perfect...

Here's another example of what I'm talking about...

See her skin is OBVIOUSLY altered to make it look flawless...

I've tried blurring... created duplicate layers, then tried all different kinds of Artisitic Filters and then changed the opacity of that layer... I can't figure it out!

Oh BTW - thanks for the spelling correction... lol

Christina's (that stupid, ugly, whore) face is airbrushed. Meaning some took a brush on a soft setting and pretty much repainted her whole face. Try searching for a "Photoshop Airbrushing" or something tutorial to help.

Oh ok... I kinda figured that. I thought there might be an easier way...

Thanks though

And she is NOT ugly and/or a whore :rolleyes: She is TALENTED
