Editing ok? - DPChallenge Forums

I'm sending a link to the parents of this girl, photo taken at the Winterlude Festival over the wkend. I cloned out her spots, did some general editing. Does this look ok before I send the link through?

thanks

Hard to judge the editing without the original, but the photo itself looks pretty good to me. Nice, tight face shot with the microphone in the comp, good color and focus. I can't say I like your copyright size & placement but otherwise they should like it very much.

That's a lot more discrete and flattering to the image Ken. I'm using the smallest font size (6) in ps7, Times New Roman. What would work better?

Thanks Charles....coming from you that means a lot to me! :))

I don't pay much attention to the font size - the number, I mean - you can select the font layer and use CTRL+T (free transform) and hold SHIFT to constrain proportions, the grab a corner and size it down. Times Roman is fine (I would've used it but my fonts disappear from my list as I run low on memory). I would use Times Roman Bold Italic in white at about that size and then change the transparency of the layer to about 60 - 70%. Make sure to view it at 100% zoom to see if it is still visible without being obtrusive.

Hope that helps.

She's a teenager and had 3 red pimples that will be gone in a week. On the photo she'd have to look at them forever. Her gorgeous complexion is all her own.
