Very very good indeed! =) The hair could do some tweaking, but the resti is good! =)
Excellent work! Wow..!!
I tried fixing the hair, but i keep on messing it up. I will give it another try. Thx for comments![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/1.gif)
Great theatrical makeup!
Fixed hair, changed color of flower and used a little color in the eyes. Thx for advice. Always welcome![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/1.gif)
xcellent wrk.....................................gl
Also has have a tip for you. Cutting or masking the selection should be based on the sharpness of the image. By this I mean how sharp or how much in focus the image is. For example if you blow up an image to 200-300% and see how far the pixels merge or overlap between to objects. It may be in a high resolution image this is only 1 pixel but in a lower resolution or scan of an old photograph with large grain, it may be 3 or 4. It is this “focus†that your image selection should be based on.
good advice, but you didn't do this in your coat rebuild......there are large differences there...
Phew! PhotoRepair, I don't think i understand what you mean :-b. Is there a problem with the image? Please let me know![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/1.gif)
Is it a problem that i cut out everything with the pen tool, and that the edges look too sharp...?
author, stick with your instincts, this is a great job, don't be put off by comments.
You did a great job. I did see that you cut out part of her neck. If you zoom in on the neck you can see the collar bone line is missing from your final image.
yes, I see this, I missed it first time. You have mistaken shadow for body line!!...in the original, it is not easy to see, so i think you could be excused..........
Yess i can see it now, i'll try to fix it if i still got time, thanks anyway![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/1.gif)
Thanks adeincyprus & dmspaulding07, fixed it. Boy that was a nasty gap
I was going to print it on a large canvas. Glad i could fix it first.
Well done! One of the best I've seen. You got the colors perfect! Good luck to you!![](images/smileys/bigthumb.gif)
2nd opinions are good too.
![](images/smileys/bigthumb.gif)
FYI: If your concerned about comments and who you should take advice from, I'd stick with someone who well.. has a higher level, since they probably know what they are talking about. All opinions can be good but when it comes down to it, only yours really matters
My opinion? This is a winner
Agreed!!....this is a great piece of work...........the very best of luck to you.
Perfectly restored!![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/1.gif)
