I edited this Image in Photoshop. First thing I did in Photoshop once I opened the Image was create a new layer which I did by dragging the background layer down to the "create a new layer" symbol. Once the new layer was up I then went to the "Spot Removal Tool" and got rid of any blemishes I could see on her face that I didn't want in the image, after finishing I then renamed the Layer, Blemishes.  After this step I can't fully remember what I did because I renamed the layers lol, BUT I think after that I went to the "Lasso Tool" and went around her teeth. I then went to the "Create a new fill or Adjustment Layer" symbol, and went to the Hue/Saturation tab, Once in I went to the Master panel and went down to yellows and took the yellows down to correct the colour of her teeth, I then renamed this layer Teeth. Once finished, I went back to the "Lasso Tool" this time going around the Whites of her eyes, Once done I went back down to the "Create a new fill or Adjustment Layer" Symbol, This time going to  the Brightness and Contrast tab, Once in I took the contrast down and brightness up to try and whiten her eyes, Then named the tab Eyes. After Finishing, I went to filter and opened the image into Camera RAW, I then opened the Adjustment Bush and took the clarity down and dragged the brush over her face to soften the skin. I then re-opened the image back into Photoshop and used the "Clone Stamp Tool" to get rid of the bit of fluf on her beanie. And I think after that I went to the little symbol on the top right side of the layers panel, pressed it, and went down to "flatter image" and then saved.

This Image I pretty much did exactly the same thing I did in class, only difference is, I didn't open the image straight into Photoshop, I first opened it into Photoshop RAW to try and darken my sister skin before using the layers in photoshop cause as you can see my sister has quite pail skin. Once I opened the Image into Photoshop RAW I went to the Adjustment Brush and took the Exposure down and dragged the brush over her face to darken the skin. Once finished I opened the image into Photoshop and created a new layer which I named Blemishes, I then went to the Spot removal tool and got rid of any blemishes I didn't want in the image. After this step I then went to the "Lasso" Tool and went around the Whites of her eyes. Once done I went to the "Create a new fill or adjustment Layer" Symbol, and went to the Brightness and Contrasting Tab, Once done I took the Contrast down and the brightness up to dry and whiten her eyes. One finished, I then re-opened the image back into Photoshop RAW, I then went to the Adjustment Brush and took the clarity down and dragged the brush over her face to help smoothen her skin. I then re-opened the image back into Photoshop and set the foreground colour to black and re opened the adjustment brush and went around the blacks of her eyes to make them darker. I thenwent to the little symbol on the top right side of the layers panel, pressed it, went down to "flatter image" and then saved the image.
