Here is the image i am starting with...
There aren't that many blemishes on this photograph but one thing i noticed was that the models lips are quite dehydrated and chapped so i wanted to attempt to correct this.
To do so i used the spot healing tool and a new layer over the top of the image, i then painted over the blemishes which i wanted to change using the lightening mode and just kept working on it until i was happy.
As i said there were not many blemishes but i then started on the face and tried to reduce pores and tiny patches of dry skin etc, i screen shotted as i went along so here is the process:
<-- This is the tool i used to edit.
This is the outcome of the lips after i had edited, i didn't want it to be completely flawless as that would make it look fake so i kept some of the texture of the lips there.
I then moved onto the face...
I didn't do too much to the face i just softened shadows and pores,
I then moved on to the eyes as you can see in the image above the lights with softboxes on can be seen reflecting in the eyes so i tried to eliminate those...
You can see the difference here between the two ^
So now you can compare the changes...

Today i decided i wanted to test out some equipment i haven't used before so i am making use of the facilities at university. I went and hired out a Nikon fit flash gun and an 85mm 1.4 Sigma lens.
Me and Gwen took a walk into Manchester to experiment with these new items.
I started off with the Nikon Flash Gun, it was quite tricky to get good images as it was quite a sunny day but we tried to go inside darker areas to get better results.
Here are the pictures i took:
I plan for this target to go on for a while as i want to widen my knowledge of different equipment as much as possible while it is available to me.
