:heart: Hi All, I'm needing a little help here. I liked this shot of my friends bub then started mucking around on PS7. Being relatively new at all this, i wanted your opinions on which one is best ( if any :blushing: !!) Please excuse the shocking attempt at vignetting on #5.... i've read everything on the topic, but still BAD??!! Thanks for looking xx ps.. anyone know what the 'sweat' looking shine is on bubs face... definitely wasn't sweating when i took it... but have noticed this on a lot of close ups since using my new camera canon 350D ???? Looks bad.... need help please xx

#1. original image

#2. Original with coloured eyes

#3. Desaturated b&w

#4. Mucked around with curves

#5. Ok,,,, don't laugh... same as above with very sad attempt at vignetting.

I am no expert on PS7 but I have seen that happen when you try to sharpen an image to much.

either pretend you do not have a built-in flash and do not use it or if you really really have to, do what I said in your other thread and put a piece of white paper in front of it.
