help-fix eyes - vedwardsphotography - 02-19-2012

Yes, she DOES have a nice (slight) smile that is interesting. Good eye contact.
Not sure what you can with PPro but you should be able to lighten the area with PShop.
I did this in about 20 minutes with duplicating the layer in PS (and setting the top layer to screen). Erased all but around the area we wanted lightened and adjusted opacity afterwards. Then took it to PPros for some tweaking
.I didn't think the dark areas you talked about were horrible anyway. But here is my go at it...you should be able to do something similar if this is close to what you way.

you made that look easy.... I never learned PShop... I am a major critique of my work trying to get better.. I want to consistently take good shots.. she didn't wear any makeup and I wanted to smooth out under her eyes.. I like for my photos to be able to print up to 20"x30".
That is my plan to distinguish myself from the competition..
thanks

I generally would brighten is using Picasa. I too am a beginner. I need to learn Photoshop. I advice you to learn photoshop too.
