Smile relaxed - macs mom - 02-10-2009
[attachment=99]After sharpening the photo of my neice and removing a little foliage from her right ear....I relaxed her smile...in the process I relaxed the rest of her face...like a lot of folks....when they put on a great big fake smile for the camera their cheeks puff out and their whole face seems to push upwards....now she looks like she really does...not as chubby as in the original photo.

I don't know how you came to that conclusion but you're absolutely right! Taking a bit of "forced smile" off her really improved the image. Nice job.
(wish the photo were bigger but...
)

I concur about the improvement to the smile! Nicely done.
Although the posted images are not high resolution, it seems that effect applied to the skin of her cheeks, chin, and nose, seem just a slight bit too much.
It may not be that the actual full resolution shots appear as such.
As a result the posted images suggest her skin does not look natural. Rather, it seems to be bordering on a plastic and waxy appearance.

The original was sent to me as is....I had no hand in scanning or such....I was just using it to see what I could do with it.
This was also one of my earliest tries with this software.

OH ! I just noticed that was from 2009 !
NOW I'm on the same sheet of music.

Back to the idea to "relax" the face....basically what I did was realize that a smaller smile will produce a more slider face ...so I just applied a slight bit of face slendering....
