Friends images - Took about 7 or 8 hours on this. Hope you like it thank you for the tips. I have edited my entry again. / ... and you did a great job. Just soften the cheek colour on the top gal.. and redo the lips on both.. they are a bit fuzzy. Crop the lips on the original and then clarify - sharpen if needed. Save. Bung the result into your original - and you're done. Good luck... grin... Doncha hate these criticisms. / Well done.. good edit. Now give the lower gal a leeetle more cheek colour. Set your brush to a low opaque and the hardness also low.. picka good almondy pink colour - and use a big brush. Just keep goin till your happy. Gently gently... Ain't this fun. Good for you hon.. great stuff. / Your allowed to coach people along on this site. Good color choices. / ajalum, Yes you are allowed to do this. It is really encouraged in the apprentice contests.

Friends pictures - / I love that look on Bush's face. It's so "I got you. but I'm on TV" Har.
The Color of Friends pictures - I spent about two or three hours on this. I know... I know... way too much time for such an easy job. I ended up doing about five different versions, and loved all of them. I chose the one that I felt displayed the most realism through color. I hope you like it. / Nice job. I would take the red out of the bottom girl's teeth and soften the reds a bit. It is just a bit orange around the jaw line. Hair & eyes look great. Maybe get a little closer to the faces with the skin tones too. It is washing over on the hair. / The skin tone on the top girl is amazing and I tried forever to figure out the correct color combination to match it. Couldn't do it. Keb is right that the reds are a little harsh, especially on the bottom girl. Maybe having a second gradient map just for her would help because you wouldn't want to change the top girl’s tone. / Seems unnatural more like an airbrushed glamor shot. / It's a bit too "glowy" somehow. Maybe the reds etc as Keb suugested. A little more sharpness might help. Good work tho... / More artistic that photo-realistic, but looks mighty impressive nontheless

It's All About the Clothes Girlfriend! pictures - / You need to adjust the shadow from the added hat. Delete the shadow effect and create a duplicate layer of the hat. Turn the duplicate layer off and return to the original hat layer. Mask out the left and right sides of the hat so that the remaining part of the hat is only covering the actual head of the horse and not the background pavillion. Apply your shadow effect to this layer so that it can be seen on the horse. Then turn on the duplicate hat layer. If you do it in this manner, the shadow effect of the hat will only be seen on the horse's face and not on the background pavillion image as you currently have in your image. The added clothing is fine though. Maybe just a little darker down the front of the left leg. / Thanks Cooper...I sure hope I have time. / I love, I love, I love my Lovely Lavender horse. / the hot new colour for this seasons horses, simply a must have
