Need help... does anyone have any high res/high quality portraits I can retouch?

Preferably a RAW file (but I'll take what I can get)

I need a couple retouch jobs that I can use to apply for this job, and I don't really have anything to work with on my computer [:/]



I *may* (and that's a BIG 'may') be able to come up with something in the next few days, depending on work and all that.

Does it NEED to be formal portraiture, or any photo that you can show the original and what you did to retouch?

I have a 30D, so you'd have to have pretty much the latest Adobe RAW update (I believe either 3.5 or 3.6 - only works in CS2 or later) to open the file. I sure you already knew that - just thought I'd mention it.

I'll see what I can come up with - I'm pretty sure I've got some local landscape shots that I can send (no guarantee on photo quality, tho!!) - pretty much everything else is either boogie stuff or events that there's no way I can get releases for.

I'll look and see what I've got on the HD tonight after work.

Definitely need to turn down the opacity on the corrections... it looks good, but a bit TOO smoothed...

If you can get hold of it before your deadline goes past, Scott Kelby's PS books have some REALLY good tips in them...

Yeah, I'm gonna retweak some of 'em a bit, that's just the quick hack job. Especially the teeth.

This one's a bit better... more realistic teeth, unsmoothed him a little. Doesn't look like a botox addict now. Also fixed his makeup (seriously)

I'd pull off a bit more... other than that looking pretty good. Might want to do a bit on the whites of the eyes, and a bit less desaturation on the teeth..

I think this should do it:
