Photoshop expert needed

[TVB]

I have a headshot that needs some minor touchups.

It's at http://www.bodieslikeours.org/pub/betsy1.jpg Specifically, I'm looking to see that spot on the bridge of my nose go away and some smile wide teeth whitening. I can pay at most $25 for the bit of time it would take to make the 'corrections' and can send a print quality photo if necessary. Contact me via PM if you are interested.

Hi Betsy. Here you go. (http://s92454869.onlinehome.us/betsy2.jpg) I went ahead and also made you a blonde, hope you don't mind (just kidding!). Let me know if the pearly whites are too much :)

I'm not a Photoshop expert, but I play one on MS Paint. I think this looks more natural. http://www.polisource.com/PublicMisc/TVB_TOUCHUP.gif

Hmmm... not exactly what I saw before I converted to gif, but ok for MS Paint.

I think my conversion messed up your cheek. Oh well.

[TVB]

Late to the party but here is my effort:

I think it looks more natural. Your teeth are whiter (but not too white) and it is more naturally color balanced. In the old pix there was a yellow cast to the whites in your eyes and also your beads. I think it was the pix itself that was at fault - not you!

oh dear. overkill on the teeth whitening. need to tone that down...

[TVB]

need to tone that down...

Less tea may do that...

When I quit smoking, I had to give up coffee and turned to tea instead. There should be a warning on the box :\

Your teeth are whiter (but not too white) and it is more naturally color balanced. That's what I find so tricky about color correction, especially for portraits. I originally changed the white point more toward the blue to take away what felt like a red cast in general, but decided that I wanted to keep the warmth in the skin tones. Boosting the green in the foliage seems to balance it out for me.

I don't see any yellow in her eyes, but I'm in the process of calibrating my system, so I'm not totally sure that I'm seeing the real colors yet. As soon as I get the printer profiled tonight I'll print this and see if I'm in the ballpark.

I cheated and asked Betsy for the full-size camera file, so my version is a little bigger. ;)

It needs an animated twinkle on the tooth.
