On the left is a screen shot of the patch tool which allows me to rid of wrinkles or blemishes. This tool was very useful and enabled me to strip away any unwanted marks such as eye wrinkles. On the right is a picture of the layers I have.
At the very top of the page, my unedited picture is on the left whilst the edited picture is on the right. Although the photo clearly shows a beautiful girl with next to no flaws, I was still able to void any marks that wouldn't be counted as the societies ideals of 'perfection'. Granted I do prefer the most natural look someone could possess, however, the edited image; I guess is an enchaining media accepted photo. I like the fact that she still looks natural despite the edits, which is more of a reflection of the girls ability to remain naturally beautiful.
a good explanation of the process of digital editing for skin. Could you elaborate on the term "enchaining media"?
