Photo retouching

So here we go.



This Photo is a Photo of famous Netherlands rock singer ? Anouk (all rights for the picture belong to www.Anouk.nl).











In this part it is very important to choose proper brushes ? so here are my settings for brushes.

I'm going to use ? Soft and Hard Round brush.









  

I want to begin by flipping the image horizontally.



Make a new layer (ctrl+alt+n) and set it's mode to Overlay (overall Opacity +50 %), brush ? Soft (brush Flow = 5%-6%).

Paint all over the face picking colors from the image itself.

Here is where I have started: Further and further ? changing the skin tone like we want.
