    Hello everyone!
    I am the retoucher of the chosen image. I have been a subscriber for 7 years now and you can imagine my excitement when I received the retouching request from Ms. Jessica. Thank you so much for your kind words! I am delighted to know that I contributed to your image. Will make sure I keep improving :) Thank you Ms. Jessica, wishing you all the best!

      @@heatherduke7703 Thank you! It is amazing to see how we all apply the same techniques but still read the images differently. The dimples and small faint freckles were a must leave for me. The other retouchers did an amazing job - I see a lot of areas they did better than me. In the end it comes down to your taste and vision.

    I think every retouch looked good in its own way. At first the 150$ one was like overwhelming and reminded me of those Beauty Pageant images, but the longer I looked at it the more I was impressed. Maybe it's just the big OOF when you compare the original to the edit. Lovely job from everyone!

    The only thing I don't like about the 150 is they went a bit overkill in my opinion on smoothing out your face. The one you picked was my favorite too!! Can you do more videos like this? Maybe use a model and full body shot next time id be super interested. Not sure if youve done that before but ill be looking :)

  • @artcika
    @artcika 2 года назад +60

    I liked 20-30$ range ones the best. They were subtle but polished, while the expensive one was totally overkill. It may look good zoomed in, but as smaller image it just looks obviously retouched. I don't think even the adds in magazines look that extreme. So i think you picked the perfect one!

    The 150 retouch made you look like a cartoon version of you. The best was 2 and 4, with 4 being ever so slightly ahead in the "most looks like you" and 3 being ahead in the "polished but still human" category.

    I really liked the $20 one they did an amazing job. The others also did a great job I like the others as well. The $25 I like that they added something to your eyes. The $150 made your photo look like a beauty pagent photo but like for a magazine it was good. Also the $25 and $30 I like how subtle and natural they kept it. This must've been a hard decision. They were all good. 😆

    The retouch you picked was one of my final two faves. My eye was really drawn to that $150 retouch. Maybe too because it was dead center. Lol.
    My second pick, the one you selected, was super nice. It looked a tiny bit more natural. They were the only one too that left the lil baby hair over your right eye. Nice touch. I think your choice was perfect... 😊

  • @mcdc9086

    @pinkesthibiscus 2 года назад +8

    I really liked 2 and 4! I agree with your final choice 🙂
    The expensive one was kind of overdone in my opinion, it almost looked like one of those manga filters on photo editing apps. But what really bugged me was that there seemed to be a weird disconnect between the look of the face and the look of the neck, as if they went for one style of editing on the face and another (less extreme) style on the rest of the photo. I definitely see the look they were going for and I think there’s a place for that kind of editing in, say, a magazine, but they just didn’t quite nail the execution on this particular picture. I’d be interested to see more of their work. Overall a really good batch of edits this time though! 💗

    This was so interesting to see! I think that seeing the retouches on a face I’m familiar with (as opposed to the models you typically use) gave me more insight into what truly goes into the retouching vs what you “usually” look like…if that makes sense. So I’ve paused it on the side by side of all the edits and my favorite is number 4. I loved that one the most during the initial presentation as well, but I wasn’t able to put a finger on exactly why until you showed all 5 at once. Its because of the subtle peachy glow, but it’s not overdone like the “beauty shot”. Number 2 was my second fave. You’re beautiful! ♥️

    To me, a great retouch is a retouch where you kind of don’t see that it’s retouched. It have to look natural.
    I think all five did great. The 150 I think was a little to polished, I think that looked less natural then the others. But still beautiful work.
    The one you picked I think was really great and I understand you chose it. The retouch was natural and subtle.
    But my personal favorite was the second one (the first at 25) you showed. I liked that they kept the “space” in you bangs. That space was an “imperfection” that to me made the picture and especially the hair look more natural. Besides from the bangs I believe it had a lot of the same great qualities as the retouch you chose.

    I think my favourite is the last one. It looked the most natural. To an average person viewing it doesn’t look “retouched”. If I saw this scrolling Instagram or something I wouldn’t really think twice or go “hang on is this edited” it just looks the most natural without being over the top. No crazy colors or filter, no excessive smoothing or anything, it doesn’t look like it’s been overly cleaned up. Compared to the before it just looks the most subtle and nice.
