I'm writing about the magic of Photoshop, Watch out for big picture files!
So I got paid over 100$ to digitally restore a picture! See the picture here. The left side is the original and the right side is what it looks like after I got through with it. The first thing I did was to desaturate the picture from the green tint of age. I then played with lighting and contrast to give it a sharp sheen. I removed all the brown stains and dirt that was around the collars of the bride and groom (you can’t see the dirt in these low-rez pictures unfortunately). The hardest part was fixing all the creases, dents and tears. The thing I’m most impressed with though, is my reconstruction of the top right corner of the picture!
I realize that this isn’t a completely professional looking job but it’s pretty good for my first ever attempt at this sort of thing.
Here is another example of a photoshop’d picture. You can see that Emma’s skin has been color corrected and all her blemishes have been digitally removed to make her seem even more perfect than she already is. No, she isn’t wearing much but that only helps to demonstrate whatever the heck it is I’m trying to say here.

The pic from FHM is different from the one beside it. As in, it's a different photo, different pose, clothes are in a different place and she's moved. I wonder how much is PS touching up and how much is getting the lighting to help with that.

Ya they're not the same picture but I'm pretty sure that theres still lots of touch up, if not in her skin tone then at least her blemishes.
