Hi everyone,
Can anyone help me out and make the fingernails in this photo look cleaner (some paint is chipping) and also this is a headshot so how would I make the skin appear softer or basically less flawed? (I'm not sure if softer is the correct term) any help would be appreciated! Thanks so muchIMG_0015.JPG
 
I hope you dont mind @chrisdesign I have taken your excellent edit but I have tried to deal with with the issue of the contact lenses (which IMHO is a bigger issue than the skin which was fine).

This is nicely done John, though did you somehow desaturate the image?

Certainly not intentionally - I have been thinking recently that images that I post have not been how I have seen them on my screen . I am beginning to think I have a problem!

When I view them in PS they appear fine. When I see them in .jpg they dont feel the same.

Cheers

Here is my .psd I would be inretested if someone can take a look. I have taken the edit by @chrisdesign and applied edits to the eyes and I agree it has come out desaturated.

Any Ideas?

Hey John

Your PSD file looks fine, what color profile do you use.
My PS is set to Adobe RGB (1998)

This is your PSD with RGB set to sRGB

And this is it with RGB set to Adobe RGB

And here's the image saved with Adobe RGB color profile embedded

Ged - that would appear to be the problem. My default colour profile does indeed appear to be sRGB. Is there a way to set the default colour profile to Adobe RGB? I have done a bit of searching and cant find a way to change the default.

Cheers

Just go to Edit and Color Settings and change RGB working space to Adobe RGB (1998)
