Spin-Off: Photo Retouches, what have you done?

[scrapyardkath]

I saw Jen's thread about Photo Retouches and it got me wondering, what have you done to change someone physically in your photos, beyond the basic correction or special effect?

I have removed my tattoo from my ankle [where I am sitting on the beach], but just because it looked distracting in the LO.

Corinne sucks on her lips sometimes and it leaves a 'ring', so I have softened that in a lot of pictures! LO

I also added an eyeglasses arm to my husband's glasses when his was broken and missing. LO

Now I have to go link up these LOs! Done!

I dont have the image to show you guys right now, being at my parents house... But I have this picture of my dog and I when we were both pups. (haha) it was all green and half the picture was overexposed. Not only did I fix the photo, and do a darn good job at it, but I made the field behind us green and actually made the corn stalks taller! it looks pretty stellar compared to the original. When I found the photo after he died, I just HAD to make it look that good. I had no choice!

I have also done a lot of retouching. Taken out blemishes on friends faces, smoothed skin, and my favorite is to make my lips looks more red and give them shine. I do that in *most* pictures of myself. lol.

Oh, and I do eye color a lot, too.

I don't like to retouch too much, but I took these gorgeous pics of my girls on the trampoline and they both looked like they had half a cake's worth of crumbs on their face. So I got rid of those.

I don't like to retouch too much, but I do lessen my double chin on occasion.

Yeah, I was wondering about this my self.

Here is one that I did. He had a scratch on his forhead, a dry skin patch on his cheek.

I removed martini glasses and flowers from a photo once because it was distracting...once I cloned out a kool-aid stain in my carpet...I cloned out a camera (one photographer at a wedding got another photographer's flash in his photo) but it was a great photo otherwise, so.....in my most recent layout (in my gallery, link below) I cloned out ALL OF THE OTHER PEOPLE so that it would look like only my parents were standing in front of the Eifel Tower.

I work on every image I play with. It's a must!

I made some changes on this one, mainly adjusting for sun and shade, as well as correcting body proportions. Lee

I often am removing smudge from around my 3yo's mouth Sometimes it's cute and goes with his personality - sometimes, it's REALLY distracting and makes me look like a bad mommy - but I don't follow him around with a wipe

I've removed blemishes and did smooth out a few wrinkles from a closeup shot of my best friend and I. I've cloned out legs from a friends' photo when I was doing a layout for her. The focus was on her children kneeling on the ground, and you could see grownups' legs behind them, and they were very distracting.

But for the most part, I tend to go for the overall quality of the photo because I'm not good at doing big manipulations.
