week 4 : photo repair & restoration
part one : the tutorial exercises
this is truly a FUN week's worth of assignments. i still need a lot of practice and fine tuning of my skills with these tools, but i am having a really wonderful time *sweating photo pixels*

here, i decided to try to add a something different. using the image adjustments of the tutorial, I added a linear gradient background and played with the manual color correction and auto contrast.

humm, once you get the hairlines out into the light, they look a bit funky to me. if this was for a *real* piece, more editing would be required to soften that line. i didn't really notice it in the psp image, but in this jpg version, it really jumps out at me.

i think i would also want to do something about the blotchyness of the skin in this photo.
