I could improve your photos (even EDITED)

Credit for effort, but these still need perfecting.

You have maybe one image out do these samples that look like you improved, and most people can already work to that level in photoshop.

Look at the outdoor image with Sofi Vega, your light correction has remove the glossiness of her hair, you should have punch the blacks and enhanced her highlight with the dodge tool, because that girl has amazing hair, and when shot right, she also looks amazing.

Duplicating the layer, and then removing background on the top layer to tweak the gain on the subject, shows. In many of this images, the subject now looks like cardboard cutout against the background.

Having said that continue, you will crack it, you can total change images when using layer, you just need to level of blend top and bottom layers and with saying that, it makes doing that on ever image in a set, very time consuming.

It always worth while running your work past a second pair of eyes, or break a day or two before posting, fresh eyes always spot something you can not after looking at it for some time.

I still make the same mistake even now.

Hello Paul,

I would save the time of criticizing someone's work to perfect your own photos.

Hair is literally the same. For dodge tool see the reply n1.

That's a whole point of the thread. Subject enchasing. For every photo in the set.
Cardboard effect is only noticeable when compared to the "Before" image.
You can't see it without original.

Yeah I see it.
