The smear was originally put on thick but the client wanted a smooth transition from thick to almost nothing. I found a similar angled face where I could lift a clean cheek as to not loose any valuable skin texture. Tattoo removal and basic skin clean up was also done.

Left is Before -- Right is After
These watches typically go through numerous rounds of retouching and color corrections. The hands have to be adjusted to read 10:09 with the second hand pointing to :37. The face also gets slightly enlarged. Normally there are similar watches within the same family, so many of the components tend to get picked up from each other.
Color was adjusted for the pink ribbon and button, the burgundy tag's logo was changed to an embossed metallic logo and the client requested an outline. The watch case's reflections were changed and the metal required a significant amount of clean up, particularly on the feathers. the burgundy lock's reflectiveness was altered. The burgundy logos on the watch face were color corrected.

These images were created from 40 or more separate images to create the drops, flowing water, algae, kelp and water background. There were wet and dry shots of the products which were merged to create just the right amount of wetness without distorting the product deco. The type was also replaced with Illustrator vector files.
The random drops in the original shot were placed and cloned in such a way as to shape the bottle silhouette.
The image had to be extended on top and to the left. A rose had to be removed and her hair had to be cloned in. Some of the flowers were repositioned.
The image had to be extended on three sides- right bottom and left, the right side being the trickiest as hair and an arm had to be extended.
Most of the work involved with these images was color correction and clean up of Diamonds and settings. Golds and Silvers had to be enhanced and cleaned up. The client likes their diamonds to look a certain way (on the cool side) and sparkling nicely. There were times when additional colors had to be "injected" into the diamonds for additional dimension. Many images had to be knocked out of the backgrounds they were shot in, where the sympathetic color casts had to be neutralized and specular reflections removed.
The left side of the neclace was out of focus, so the blurry links and stones were replaced with sharper ones using the same shot.

This image was heavily color corrected for the packaging of the Tenacious D Movie and soundtrack. After significant back and forth until final approval, the client wished to apply all color corrections to a much larger image for posters and bus wraps, etc. I could not use the masks from the small image. The image dimensions were totally different, so I had to recreate all the masks and apply the color corrections.
