Is there anyway to fix the smiles of the two girls in front? I have ONE where the dark haired girl is smiling pretty, but the focus was slightly off. I don't know how to combine the two pictures smoothly.
The blonde girl is making a silly face or frowning in EVERY shot she is in. |

A quick edit using the Liquify Filter
duplicate your layer
Go to Filter - Liquify
Use the top tool with a brush size that's about the size of the mouth.
Put the cross hairs on the corner of the mouth, click and push the corner of the mouth slighly up and out. Do the same thing on the cheek line.
If you mess up, use Cntl Z or Find the History Brush and set use the restore setting.
Hope that helps.
Fixed the image.

| Got the wrong image. Fixed it. The brunette's smile looks more natural. |

| The person who paid me to take the picture wants their smiles fixed. That blonde is either frowning or making a silly face in every picture of her. |

It's fixable, but more serious issues are present.
The overall tones and skin colors are way off, as is the lighting.
The back row is dark and front row is light, and an overall yellow cast is present.
The smiles are a bit better considering the small file size, and even took out the "new pants" crease in the one guy's pants... ;)
 <---Refresh if you saw it already - fixed better
Smile-wise, some involves the liquify tool, very close-up cloning, smudge tool use and blur tool.
Open the original and this edit, then switch between them in the taskbar to see changes.

The problem isn't just not smiling. It's the WHOLE face/eyes/etc. You can get a smile out of them, but then eyes wouldn't look right, as well as the cheek, nose, etc.

Looks like there's a slight yellow cast to it. And the row of people at the back are too dark.
But the smiles look okay!
edit: see BradP's post

Well, unfortunately, the computer I usually do my photo editing on has been in the repair shop for TWO MONTHS now (now you know why you haven't been seeing new pics from me). Anyway, I'm on a loaner laptop, and I haven't figured out how to calibrate this monitor yet. The color looks fine on my monitor.
what tilt?
If you guys want to hear a wild story, I can tell you my adventures with my extended warranty through Circuit City. The repair center (an independent contractor) seems to be holding my laptop hostage. One week ago today, the manager at our local Circuit City called and told them to return the computer to the store, they're going to repace it. The repair center said they were still testing it and they had to have permission from the warranty company to return it. I called the repair center on Wednesday and told them I wanted to take the machine to someone local at my own expense and please ship it to me. They said NO!!!!! They won't send it back until they get permission from the warranty company, or so they say.
My current theory is that they either lost it or accidently messed it up even more than it already was and don't want to admit to it.

I had mentioned earlier the need to dodge the faces. This looks a whole lot better, especially the back row.

Here's the finished product. Prints look fine.
I would have never thought to use the dodge tool on the back row. Thanks! |
