Hello! I'm new and i need help!

[mkmcdermott4]

It is so nice to meet you all! your skills truely astound me. I hope someday i will be able to master the art of photoshop! my name is maggie and I was wondering if some of the more advanced photoshop users would be able to help me edit some pictures. I had a friend of mine do my senior pictures and i was wondering if anyone would be able to edit some of them to show me how they would look to their fullest potential. If anyone would be interested i would be extremely appreciative! Thanks!

Hi and welcome! Can you post some of your pics up here as an attachment to your message? That might help someone determine if they can help or not.

Good Luck!

Hello and welcome to the forums.... but seriously one post and you want someone to process your senior pics for free?

There's a lot of talented Photoshop users here and some of them are probably happy to help, but try to at least contribute a bit to the forums before asking for something like this for free... or just post it as a paid job in the freelance section and you can get a professional to do it at a good price.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, just trying to share how you might have better luck.

i'm sorry i dont really know what i'm doing on here! i just wanted to see what a pro photoshop users editing looks like so i can mess around and work to imitate them! my name is maggie and i only know the very basics!

attached are the pictures if anyone would like to help me!

Nice pics.... what kind of look are you going for? Do you want a consistent theme for all the images, or some variety?

 

[mkmcdermott4]

anything really! i just want them to be very clear. the hard thing for me is the freckles. i dont know how to make everything nice and even without totally taking out the freckles. i just want to see how they would look edited by a professional. they are senior pictures so nothing too dramatic, but since they are my own they could be a little more intense than normal ones if desired

Yea higher resolution images would be better... especially if you are printing these.

I had a quick go at the first one... I could easily spend more time with it, but here's what I came up with first go round. If you like it let me know, if not tell me what you don't like:

It would help if you uploaded the Hi-Res photo. These are @ 72 dpi and look like junk. These won't be printable at even 6x8.

 

[mkmcdermott4]

oh okay i'm sorry i'll upload them with high resolution! thank you guys so much, its very interesting to see them done well!

 

[mkmcdermott4]

okay here are the images to their best resolution. its amazing what you all can do with these! would you be able to mess around with the eye size a little bit? My eyes are squinty haha and i've always wanted to know how to make them a little tiny bit bigger in pictures. If no one is interested and helping out, seeing as i'm not paying to have these done because I'm just interested in seeing how the change the cosmetics of a picture, that is TOTALLY fine! but if you are thank you SO much! you are such a big help!

Hi and welcome to the forum , as you can see there are a lot of people willing to help, so please stick around.

Back on topic, are these images of you, or did you take them? Some of the image need to be a little bit better, and this will help, with the out come of the PSing, that you are wanting to do in time to come.
