Do you wanna listen to me babble for an hour about skin smoothing?

[e.rose]

FINALLY... 3... 4?... effing days later, I got Screenflow and Youtube to play nice. And also realized that I can't export hour-long videos or my computer will essplode.

The other day I told Page I'd show her how I skin smooth... and Ron asked if I was going to post it publicly, at which point I decided, "Sure. I will."

So here it is.

Nothing Fancy.

Probably way too boring and long and unpolished for most of you to care.

BUT... in case you're interested and/or have been wondering what it is I do... here it is.

Like I say in the videos, I don't do the first method anymore. I usually do a combination of the second and third videos and/or just the 3rd video. I included the first just in case anyone doesn't have the ability to do the 3rd, or just wants a fast way to get through skin smoothing. ::shrugs::

If y'all have any questions, feel free to ask. :heart:

EDIT: Thought I would include the jpegs of each method as well (Note: these images are by no means finished or perfect. They're the exact files I used in the videos, and I mentioned what I would still fix, including using dodge and burn to fix certain areas):

I'll upload them to Copy.com and you can download them to watch them offline later, if that helps?

That DOES help! We get unlimited downloads after midnight. I am never up that late, but DH is and he can download them for me! :happydance: I guess I really do have to take you out for wine now.

you and e.rose should get together and go wine tasting... pics or ban.

NOTE: I updated the OP to include the JPEGs of the images for comparison. :sillysmi:

I definitely want to watch these! But I'm going to wait til Disney Pixar Cars 2 isn't blasting on the TV next to my head while my 2 year old takes turns running around the living room and climbing my face.

My wife hates when my son climbs on her like a jungle gym. He knows it's ok to do with me and tries the same thing with her.
