Retouching Assignment

Here are my images for the retouching assignment. Before and After.

For this image I increased the exposure, took out the reflector and the leaves on the ground, lowered the roof and added a gradient but masked out the roof to bring it out a bit more.

For this image I increased the blacks and fixed the white balance first in camera RAW. Then I took out the stray hairs and used the liquify tool to flatten the hair in a little and also bring up the shirt a bit. I then used the spot healing tool to fix up the skin and take out harsh shadows and creases. Lastly I painted on extra makeup and changed the blend mode to soft light and decreased the opacity to make it look realistic.
