I wanted to experiment with techniques for correcting poor skin tones today, as I am getting back into glamour shoots shortly. I picked a scan of a slide that has suffered badly over the years, and was a bit underexposed to start off with. The idea was to see how much of an improvement I could get as practice for working on usable shots. In the end, I was happy enough with the results that I decided to put it in my gallery, along with a couple more I salvaged the same way.

I am interested in all opinions of this shot, do you think the eyes are over brightened? The white seems a touch overdone on this one, to me, I did the others a little less strongly. All comments are of interest as I want to get it right, for future work.

OK, how bad was the original? Well, here it is before I started working on it:

Please leave any comments, good or bad, this is a learning experience for me. Thanks.
