Photo Retouching

1. As the artist of this piece, what was your main objective?

As the artist of this piece, my main objective was to take a portrait of a celebrity and retouch it, to make it look like their makeup was done, no gray hair, etc.

2. What tools did we primarily use for this project?

Primarily for this project, I used the paint tool to paint in the hair, eyebrows, etc. I also used the clone stamp to clone parts of the face.

3. What were some of the challenges you faced during this project?

A challenge that I faced during this project is trying to make the hair look natural, and not painted in. Another challenge that I faced during this project is trying to make the whole picture look natural. You don’t want to make the picture look like you drew it, you want to make it look like the actual person.

4. Do you feel that there should be a warning placed on retouched images that are used for advertising? Why or why not? I do feel that there should be a warning placed on retouched images that are used for advertising because people should know that it is still the same person, but it is retouched.
