Mark_48 Goldmember  2,068 posts Joined Nov 2004 Location: Brookfield, MA More info | Feb 19, 2006 15:47 | #1 I'd like to practice and improve some of my Photoshop retouching skills for images of people, primarily faces. Wrinkles, bad complexions, acne, red eye, loose hair, etc. My own collection of images has minimal problems like these and I'm wondering where, if at all might there be a few images of good working size that can be downloaded to practice on. Seems most images posted anywhere have already been fixed in some manner taking all the "fun" out them. Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin. Once you have a little, you just want more and more. It doesn't stop until your bank account is run dry.

But just mess up your own hair, put spots on your face with a pencil or water-soluble marker, put the camera on a tripod and do a self portrait. That'll give you what you need to work with. Most of the corrections will be an exercise with the cloning tool in photoshop. The later the version of PS, the more sophisticated the cloning ability, generally. Steve Foss
