Who has a knack for photoshop?

Sorry Gipson but I kinda stole your idea.
I liked your idea but I think you overdid it a little...

Seeing as this for the OP Judo, we'll let him be the judge of that :mrgreen:
Personally I like Charlies "correct" skin colour and "natural" looking eyes.

The OP did say:

To me, its like i want it to say that when she looks at me, nothing else matters and everything else is just a blur.

Yours AIN'T blurred enough to say that! lol!

Don't judge me on that!
I'm frickin colorblind, I can't help it if I miss a color every once in a while.
I'm actually surprised at the amount of times I get it right. xD

You've got a point there...

WOW!Thanks guys. I totally forgot about this thread and ive stumbled upon it to see some great stuff! thanks for you contributes as I enjoyed looking at these!.

As much as I do enjoy all of these, I really have to say my favorite is judobreakers 2nd edit with the blur. It really does produce the feeling i want to convey, in me at least.

Thanks guys for all of your help!

Here's my feeble attempt:



It's not very good.

My quick and dirty go at an edit.

I really like that last one jake. Great job, All of these look great. I feel so helpless in photoshop when seeing these. What all did you guys do to these if you dont mind explaining?

I think a few people need to calibrate their screens.

That'd be me.

First I opened it in Adobe Camera Raw.
White balance correction.
Exposure increase.
Fiddled around a bit with the recovery, fill light, and blacks.
Increased the exposure a bit more on your girlfriends hair/jacket and on her eyes (using the Adjustment Brush).

Then I opened it in Photoshop itself.
Smoothed the skin a bit.
Duplicated the whole image to a new layer.
Added a radial blur (zoom) on that second layer and erased the middle part where your girlfriend is.

Here is my quick go at it.

I had a few exposure adjustments, brightened the eyes, added a blur, smoothed the skin and added a small vignette.

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I love processing challenges so I had to give it a try, especially with such a great pic, I love it!!
I first smoothed the skin, sharpened the eyes and the overall pic, and then I used actions (by Charm Box Studios):
First "Rose", I like the bright colors and fresh look:


and then "Mockingbird" (although it's a shame to black-and-white such beautiful eyes, I have to admit!), more dramatic:


I hope you like them!
