My favorite before and after images

This is my hobby. Ever since discovering the wonders that photoshop can do, I have been hooked on retouching and improving my skills as I go along. So, here are some thumbnails for you to view. What do you think? Some of these jobs have been tedious but fun.

wow, great job....photoshop is a great tool....you might want to fix that guy's mustache on the last photo???? on my PC its showing as two distinct different colors.....just takes away from the realistic look of the photo...otherwise they are very good.

 

Very impressive!

 

Thanks for your comments. Appreciate it!

 

really great job.nice hobby too.
keep up good work.

 

gro11ver,

I know what you mean. The mustache is just the way its supposed to be. I was assured by his grand-daughter (the one who passed me this pic to fix), that that was his 'style'. As for the color, I had to clean up very fine scratches and fill the background with a brighter color for the sake of renewing the pic.

 

very impressive! I know that is labor intensive work

 

Nice job! Must have taken quite some time to accomplish.

Keep up the good work

Yes - some can take up to 3 hours to finish. And thanks for all of your encouraging remarks.

 

Wow, Very impressive indeed, I would use 3 days for each photo.

 

really good work!

 

thanks a lot guys

 

right! same here. I do not have a long enough attention span for one thing.

great job on these

 

the mustache guy was the toughest.

 

Just did this a few minutes ago. Removal of objects. Was trying out Photoshop CS2.
