Editing our family photo for our holiday card. Unfortunately, the angle meant everyone had double chins. Photoshop to the rescue! :)

Since I basically had to rebuild everyone else's chin (mine's hidden by my beard and my daughter's head), I'd appreciate input. Do they look right?

Thanks!

Great job ! If you have the RAW you can try to bring out the sky instead of it being white via HDR.

Thanks. Those are actually clouds. :) The only blue area is really in the upper right.

Anyway, I don't have a RAW file, so it's moot, but thanks for the suggestion!

Maybe fake clouds then :) steal em from another one of your pictures if possible.

I never would have guessed you'd touched the chins. Great job!
(oh, and you're supposed to say that you don't have any, rather than that they're hidden ;) )

Looks really good.

The retouching looks natural so it works for sure. Although to be honest, I doubt there are many people who are going to critique holiday cards or even look that closely at them so you'd probably have been fine without retouching too. At the end of the day it's what you and family are most comfortable with or like the most.

Oh, I agree. This was mostly a fun chance to see whether I could do it!
