An entry for an internet competition run by Model Elaine here: Dating Site Photo Editing.The rules are simple: take a photo of Elaine and niceify it.
That's right; niceify is a word. It means to unbadderatimise.
Here goes:
Okay. Maybe - maybe - I went a little bit overboard. You can't deny it's more eye-catching though.
Steps taken:
- Liquify filter on the face - stern appearance softened by slight raising and adjusting of cheek and jawline, altering lips, raising and thinning of eyebrows, slight opening of eyes.
- Liquify filter on the chest and arm to increase bust size and add an opening to the blouse. You know: for the sexiness!
- Saturation of image increased.
- Curve adjusted off the straight line to increase dark and light level contrast.
- Duplicate taken. Levels blown out to increase white.
- Diffuse glow added to duplicate.
- Duplicate the duplicate and gaussian blur it then merge down.
- Color adjust duplicate then overlay over original image, pin light blending, 80% opacity.
- Add adjustment layer to increase image saturation.
- Add a new layer with color blending at 70% opacity to accentuate the eyes slightly more.

Imagine the disappointment when you choose a gorgeous woman from a web-dating site, but then meet up and find her photo was 'adjusted' and instead of Esmerelda, you've got Quasimodo. And don't give me this 'beauty on the inside crap' - first impressions count, and finding you've been lied to before you even met her is not a good start to a relationship. Save the lying for several months in, when she discovers your porn stash and you have to convince her it's your mates, and you are just minding it for him.
