Um, wow.
very nice, the black and white japanese photo is the best imho
It used to be photographs’ privilege to tell the truth. Now it seems it is their duty to lie to us. Very few human beings can look like a photoshop job. What do these images make us feel about ourselves? Only that we are clever enough to lie to ourselves, and that we’d all rather look like someone else. Bah.
sooo cool when your baked
Wow that is really cool.
[…] Passaci sopra con il mouse […]
I can’t believe this last one…they even decided the shape of his forehead needed help! I won’t even get into the muscular additions…great post!
very clever, but aside from correcting glring problems which i also do with picasa. what’s wrong with showing people as they are?
the guy in the superman shirt was sexier UNTOUCHED!
Nicely done. like it
the beer bottle looks fake. but everything else is great. i wish i had that talent.
Awesome dude. I love the first espeically.
Wow, cool: Especially that coloration of the japenese BW pic!
really a great job, congrats!
I would like to know how the coloration of the japenese BW pic is done, which software was used? and tips? please! thanks.
Gretz
hey, thanks for the kind words!
I have tutorials for some of these. I’ll update when I have them written up, so check back…
There’s also an “extreme” photoshop tutorial I did at my other site http://www.richgentlemenhide.com/articles/photoshop-tutorial-fountain-of-youth/
Wow! Some really good work there, I wish I could do stuff like that.
Wow, you definitely have talent. Good job.
[…] ze veel oude foto’s met behulp van het programma Adobe Photoshop weer schoon gepoetst. geen geproat Zie ook Interessant 10 juni, 2007 om20:15 […]
Actually, I prefer the top woman with her wrinkles and all.
Now i know why all star are so perfect, unbelieveable!
This makes a great portfolio for your work (or play), Bitcloud. Most people want touch-up on pics of themselves, particularly women.
Well, actually, I touch-up pics of myself. I’m a guy.
Great work, I really appreciate your attention to detail. I agree with most everyone else, the japanese photo retouch (more like makeover) is the best. For the color do you use overlay layers or what? Please reply!

To Robert:
Manipulating photographs has been done for years, it was done in the dark room by people like Ansel Adams.
He was a darkroom God.
Question every photograph,even yours, because I’m sure it’s lying to you.
meh. people used to do all the real, you know, necessary stuff, the colour fixing and stuff, with good photography, filters, knowledge of how to light and take a decent goddamn photo.
god I hate the digital photographic revolution.
I was born in the wrong damn decade I tell you!
The photo coloration was pretty impressive, but what’s the cut-and-paste bottle in the last picture? At least fix the hole in the shadow! And I’m sorry, but the second picture has to have one of the creepiest, fake looking eye retouches I’ve ever seen. Nice glamour job on the first one, though. I like how even you made the lips.
Not bad, even considering that one or two pre-images were back wound a bit. I am always impressed that people can do this sort of thing with a UAD like photoshop. You will be really good if you learn how to control luminosity and shadow in the larger areas.
Oh a tip; when you copy fabric folds to another part of the image resist the temptation to take whole bunches of folds. Try just one fold at a time and only just the fold. Looks more natural.

Cool work
Boy I gotta find someone to do that for me! I’d love to have a hot studio shot of myself all fixed up gorgeous.
i think this is amazing u should get more!
[…] Retouch […]
I stumbled here…it is very interesting, so added my thumbs up.
Anyways, I really like the first one. The lady is pretty before, but wow.
Dontcha just love modern technology? Very cool!
Hi,
Nice job. beautiful work. Can you do something like that for me? In real life??? ; )

[…] Here are some not as extreme […]
that’s COOL!!
amazing!!!
But that was nice.. they managed to put colors on a sepia photo.. coool
AS MY MOTTO GOES HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY YOU TELL OR SHOW IT LIKE IT IS. IS THIS ONLY FOR YOU OR?
@Robert McLendon.
Its a photos privilege to tell us what ever lies we wish to project as long as we remain truthful to ourselves and those that care about us.

The importance of this type of work is exemplified in the photo of the couple cutting the cake. You have taken an unusable photo and made it presentable. To the couple cutting the cake this could be priceless, especially if the original was the only copy of that image.
i like the Japanese one the best too. liquify is a fun tool )
This is so good
I am a little ok with PS as well. But not as good as these.. gr8 work
this is good, very good.
but the beer bottle could use a little work?
but other wise, i like most of them.
and considering the stuff on worth1000.com, you would maybe place in their contests? look into it!
I think that these are all wonderful pics. For the most part this photoshop artist has been able to give people a picture (not so much who they are) of who or how they want to be. Many photos are taken under less than flattering light and at an unbecoming angle. These photos show how that can be compensated for as well. The colorizing and retouching is also FAB!
really nice work… except for the beer bottle
Why do photographs have to be true representations of their subjects? Photographs have always been altered through dodging and burning as well as a variety of other techniques, filters, etc.
Before photography, painters created images and altered everything about them, from lighting to composition to color, and nobody ever criticizes them for changing things.
Norman Rockwell’s subjects never looked like the paintings, probably never were posed like that, yet we revere him for his ability to represent American life.
Throughout history images have always been altered so they can better represent their idea and purpose. Digital imaging is no different.
P.S. I think the work is great.
Damn, That’s pretty good.
Most impressive - your powers with the force are strong, please join the darkside!
Very nice
Very COOL!!
I wish I could do that too.
wow
Any tips on websites or books on retouching specifically. What baffles me is how one makes body parts smaller or larger, i.e. the guys physique in the superman shirt.
Beauty, art & creation are the privilege of the artist. Truth is not the point unless the photo is meant to represent that. Anybody whose self worth is based on photos already has a poor self image and needs to work on that, not trying to convince everyone else to accommodate their problem. If a photo can be altered & boosted to bring out its potential, I have no problems with it. If it is altered to give a false representation for personal gain or nefarious reasons, then it is a fraud & lie and the USER should be held accountable (note the artist is not necessarily the user).

its very nice………i love picture and photoshop
[…] Yet another example of Photoshop retouching working magic on some otherwise average photos. […]
Great results! I have tried to color a photo before with photoshop but your’s turned out WAY better than my results
Very nice.. Amazing what a little photoshop can do! Now we know what the actress and models really look like w/o some work!
I think that photoshop can be used for some very good things. But I also think that people are taking things way out of hand like everything else. The pictures that were fixed from black and white to color, and the red to color is amazing!!!!
Amazing and so nice pictures
Nice Job!
I like the picture of man have curly hair in upward direction…..
Hey great effects man, what a great use of colour, particularly like the one with the red removal.
