Digital makeover - did I go to far? (no nudity)

[tim]

I took two photos of a couple recently, one person had their eyes closed in each photo, so I did a digital head transplant. While I was there I removed a few wrinkles, removed bags under the eyes, smoothed out the skin, and did a little shadow removal. The result was quite amazing, and probably a little over the top. What do you think? They look perhaps 15 years younger, to me.

These pictures will be removed in a few days, to protect their privacy. Anyone who wants to know how to do this, go pick up this book (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0735714118/104-0476584-5561537?%5Fencoding=UTF8&n=507846&s=books&v=glance).

No, it looks fine...you did a good job.

To me it's fine... I always go to far, much further than this. :)

Tim, it was really good of you to make your friends look so much younger! Much cheaper and less painful thatn plastic surgery or Botox:mrgreen:

Are you serious? Those are the same pictures? Amazing! (and funny). WOW.

Thanks guys. To me the guy looks a little like a cartoon character in the after photo, I might have to go a little easier on reducing the shadows on his face. I'm quite happy with how the girl turned out :)

Looks like you gave the man an orange tongue.

I didn't recreate his head, I copied it from another shot, as I took 2 in quick sucsession. His tounge was like that, perhaps because we were in an indian resturant, which has some rather colorful and spicy foods :)
