This is the end result of the image we edited on FaceTune.
We began by cropping the photo, making the face the centre of the image. We then chose to smooth the skin removing any pores and changes in skin colour before using the details option to make the eyes brighter and clearer.
The eyes were then made bigger and blemish fixer used to take out any remaining blemishes. We then blurred out the background to make the image look more professional and draw more attention to the face. We then thinned out the nose and highlighted the cheekbones, nose and forehead.
The frame and blush were added to test out the other remaining effects we hadn't yet used on the image.
I enjoyed making the changes to this image, it was interesting to see the difference you could make to an image by changing a small thing such as smoothing the skin or brightening the eyes.
The model was happy for us to make the changes and was actually pleased with the finished result especially the way her skin looked.
Although making changes to this photo was interesting i don't think the end result it better than the original photo, there are some aspects of the image that look better such as the skin and the definition of the face, but there are some parts of the image that aren't improved such as the eyes, defining them made them look fake and cartoon like.
This exercise made me look forward to editing more photographs using other programs such as photoshop.
If i were to do this exercise again i would take the photo using a camera and beauty lens rather than a camera phone to ensure we began with a high quality image. I would use studio or brighter natural lighting to ensure the photo was well lit highlighting facial features. I would make sure there is also enough time to apply makeup and style the hair.
