Photo Enhancement or Airbrushing ....
Photo Enhancement covers a wide range of digital artistic techniques to "Glamorize" "Retouch"
"Manipulate" unwanted aspects, details out of a photograph ......... and or ......... at the same time ........ add
flattering aspects, details into the same photograph. A few examples below illustrate the "Glamorization"
process ........
In this sample, the unflattering
forhead squinting wrinkles were
removed, the skin texture was
softened and color corrected,
eyeliner & makeup darkened
slightly, and the eyes were
retouched to further glamorize the
models portrait up to a level
suitable for publication.
The overall contrast and lighting
of the portrait was also corrected
along with a slight sharpening of
the image. Notice the 'well
defined' flowing hair and darker
sweater in the enhanced
glamorized portrait.

After / Enhanced
Glamorized
The above sample took a thinning of the left cheekbone, a removal of the
distracting hair hanging on the chin line and ...... a bit of work on the models
left eye to manipulate it into making more direct 'contact' with the camera.
Final Product: A simple
"Pinup-Style" Christmas Card.
The above samples obvious flaw was the defect on the models shirt. A few other minor details in the portrait were
corrected also such as the removal of a shadow under the models left eye, and for perfection sake ...... removing the
couple of spots at the very top of the picture above the models head.
