Was going for a clean fashion, beauty shot with this. Was aiming to not have blurry skin but be able to see the pores. How'd I do?

80 to 90 percent crop...

I think you used the skin smooth filter/preset on her eyes, and the iris preset/filter on her skin!

The skin is awful, and I have to hope its deliberate. A hint of pore is all that's called for.

I think there is the makings of a good beauty shot here though.

I agree with Silvawispa. I hate the plastic skin of an overly smoothed PP job, but there is too much detail of the pores. Did you sharpen the image without masking the skin?

@matt, fair enough, if this had come out of my workflow i'd know what had happened.

Do you want to tell us what you have done?

Previous comments make perfect sense to me.

If your objective was to show pores, you succeeded. It's a little odd for an attractive young woman to have such prominent pores after proper foundation make up has been applied, but there it is.

Here's a version with sharpened skin, I personally prefer the original better...

The first looks like she has sandpaper for skin which isn't very flattering to the model. You might want to use that half moon brush on the eyes in a more subtle way as well. Maybe put it on its own layer and put some gauss blur and lower opacity.

Magnify the image in PS to pore level and dodge and burn to even out the skin. This will get you a much better even looking skin.

I like her eyes, but I'd suggest at least correcting a few blemishes and irregularities on her nose and right cheek.

Hope you don't mind, but I soften the skin a bit and here is the result.

That's a little too soft for me, my intention was to make her look natural, not like most magazines do now.

Thanks, Scott. I thrive on nit picking.

BTW, I also now understand why folks recommend the 70-200 lens for the studio.

Hey, I invariably use a 70-200mm lens on studio.
