Photoshop - Magazine Perfection

[onequirkycookie93]

great vid.... just looks like you missed a spot next to her left eyebrow... looks as if some of her fringe was cut shorter than the rest.. just a thought..

[lammatt]

it makes her look like a silicon doll in the sextoy store...

TL;DR it looks fake and bad

[Siegfriedloin]

its great! well done ;)

[MrsUniicorn]

c'mon you guys, look at your magazines! Every second woman looks like that on the photos! :D

[itsnonihoney]

so if you compare yourself to the women in the magazines, you are an idiot.

[maybemab1]

But the "before" image is already retouched... :S

[alisalisalynn]

she looked flawless before

[KravaLLT]

Any idiot can take a beautiful photo and fix it a little bit. Take an ugly photo next time, dont make a fool of yourself

[The36037]

do'nt listen to the nerds, they can't do it better.

you are great!

[xXS4ndraXx]

Wait, you can add lashes? Someone tell me where and how!!!!! :o

[w8ting4jc]

wow this is very good u are a pro!pleaasee make a tutorial for this would appreciated it very much

[4lyfShivi]

omg i think its a talent to do all this stuff dont listen to others

:P

[Caseyo01]

I have worked in many professional studio's that deal with large client media. And this is very well done. People who are saying make her more natural, this is not the case in media folks. I am sorry to say but every little imperfection is fixed. everything you see if photoshopped.

[DietAndRecipes]

you made her look plastic. it was so good until you took away skin detail..

[Natakuara]

blur destroy skin detail... so dump

[CassieLuvsYuH]

If you wanted someone to look that fake, might as well use a barbie doll.

[Helladius666]

Hey that's my wife......

[TheMusician101]

awesome work, though what people saying about her being "plastic" may be true. i can definitely still say that you strongly know what your doing in photoshop,and photo editing in a whole. The people saying she looks plastic may like a more natural look, as i am one of them. However there are many people especially in media that would like the in-perfections to be taken away,and you certainly did a extremely good job in doing so. Awesome work,dont let the comments get you down. hope you get hired

[honeysweet0]

glückwunsch. sie schaut unechter aus als barbie ^^ 

[EP1CTEAM]

omg first of all WHO IS THAT GIRL!??

and second make a tut about how to ;)

[spartya]

Don't listen to what some people say.. this is just really amazing how you do that!

[xXxRainfallsxXx]

Yea, the power of the photoshop! nice :)

[Inka433]

Good job! but.. can you explain us in another video how to do it?:D

[DownWithReligion80]

This is a perfect example of how NOT to edit a photo. The editor has fallen prey to overkill, and the model now looks more like a wax mannequin than a real person. This is not "magazine perfection" because magazine models at least look like real people that have been edited.

To the editor: You could have ended up with a much better image in a third of the time it took you to ruin this one. Don't get me wrong, you know how to use the tools in Photoshop, just not how to edit a photo properly.

[itsmegiancarlo]

@DownWithReligion80

Aw cmon! This is how everybody do it! Even the best magazines around like Playboy,GQ, Vogue and many many more. You were just not looking close enough to see how perfect they look in the pictures, which they're not of course.

[stevehailes1]

I came across this while looking for some help for improving skin tone...I am completely blown away by it! Really amazing stuff! Dare one ask how/where/how long it took to learn?

[patrickgdiaz]

Nice job Man!, please tell me the exact name of this song remix? :-D

[99LiveLove]

Her skin totally looks like plastic, her necklace looks like it was pasted on, her lips are not curvy enough and her eyebrows are an unnatural shade, next time don't think about making her perfect, think about making her look reasonably natural.

[adrianhernandezx]

@99LiveLove Well then our views on what is "perfect" are totally opposite. You do it and show me how it's done then =]

[Luckycharmz241]

@99LiveLove please keep in mind this was made in 09. If you wish to critique my other work, then please look at the following links which include my new work. modelmayhem(dot)com / aidenhart & aidenhart(dot)com

[plugmetv]

Appreciate it, its hot can u do it. With all the negative comments. Can u do it, if not shut sa hell up. Editing is not easy. Most models r looks just the same on magazines. You seen America's top models so dahhhhh

[juhjuhjane]

This is really good. Everyone knows magazine models ARE edited AND look too perfect to be real, and this girl looks just like that. So yes, good job!

[blendmode]

you've got potential, but this one is not a win. she looks too fake, too unnatural.

[saverubi]

HER SKIN TONE IS PLASTIC AND HER LIPS ARE UNNATURAL , DONT THINK A MAGAZINE WOULD TAKE THAT , GREAT JOB BUT NOT NATURAL.

[adrianhernandezx]

@saverubi hi. look at my new stuff then post judgments. aidenhart (dot) com

[ohtobeaworkofart]

@saverubi Yeah, because magazines...they're so concerned with natural. Welcome to marketing.

[MilitiaPhotography]

@saverubi its depend I think

[adrianhernandezx]

@MilitiaPhotography Yes, it does depend! =] Some mags do use this feel to images. It's horrid i know.

[Venom746]

can I see a slower version to learn how to do this? much appreciated :)

[SonicBoomC98]

I looked at old picture. Looks like you started off with a pretty good picture. I wanted to see an after picture where you start with an average, every day pic. Looks like she was already wearing photo makeup in the first pic

[dezinediva]

she looks like a doll. she was gorgeous before but now she looks like a stepford wife. Your technique is great but she looks so fake now.

[DishwasherHero]

but she was already perfect looking??

[cafrune]

Maybe a 3d artist can create a more realistic photo. 

[decom1885]

A side by side comparison woule be great to see at the end. (and maybe some annotations as to the techniques: brush, dodge, heal). I'm just learning so i'm awestruck at what can be accomplished with an already flawless model.

[ftbtv2011]

once again the music fucked it all up

[TheKimiixD]

Her Lips look unnatural..

[forEVr2011]

makes me realize how fake everything is.

[djsDualSound]

the fun of watching this video its because of the speed, to those who has to speed up productions, there is no time for slow mo tutorials, cheers ;)

[eyemlucien]

it's not even funny to watch this, cause of the speed...and is she still alive, cause she looks a bit plastic now...

[antiisaacbarbie17]

Oh man...she was beautiful to me in the beginning and then when I saw the before and after pic........ :/

[BelaliandSevdali]

Facebook I&G Photography  like it ;)

[juliehuynh05]

how come u dont do tutorial??? i amazing job i want to learn so bad why dont know where to start :(

[JBfan2001DK]

It's so cool anyway! How can you download that?? (:

[JBfan2001DK]

She is already so natural beautiful! Don't need to change her face at all ! She was more beautiful before! :D

[neal4utt]

i wish i cud do that :-(

[4L42]

kiddin nice work bro

[4L42]

damn she's already so natural n beautiful doesn't need to make her plastic face

[jujuwazhere]

This is freaking AWESOME!!!!!! LOVE IT :0)

[MizzleKelly]

which is the name of this song?

[josmax07]

@MizzleKelly 'Give love' by Tristan Garner, but i think this one its a remix. good luck

[ilaria41196]

amazing!!!

[teenbeauty100]

what you did with the hair was so cool:) but i dont like how you distorted it and that :/ made her look like a different person...

[666MM420]

her lips looked better before

[alienvet]

She obviously looked better before.

[davidgoymer]

Looks too unreal, I doubt they'd use this in a magazine. Maybe an ad campaign.

Imagine having to do this for something like 100 images though.

[byrdmossedem33]

Would love if you did a tutorial on how you made her skin so perfect looking.

[IMayBeADreamer5]

Why shop her? She's already! Beautiful!

[jssjuly]

you should make tutorials!!!!

[BrainHazardx]

Yes! Us poor woman MUST put on make up and shiz for mans approval!

Most girls do it so they feel better about them self and tbh i dont think (most) men give a rats ass about you having 6 layers of eveyrthing on to look like a doll :P

To Adiranhemandezx: Amazing! I learnt too just from watching

But i kinda agree with some that the skin is abit to barbie'ish

but else everything looks fine

and i got the same lash brushes x) they really make everything better

Gj

And sorry for my poor English

[sararerun28]

you're very talented !

[Ilir7777]

lol after photoshoped, she looks like she's comming from a comic book

[desire245]

you really take care of a lot of details but you should be careful w/ the texture of the skint, you blur it and it looks too fake. BTW: where could I get the eyelashes bru

[desire245]

you really take care of a lot of details but you should be careful w/ the texture of the skint, you blur it and it looks too fake. BTW: where could I get the eyelashes brush?

[Miscellaneousviidz]

thats like not even the same girl lmao.

[ZEXYKLAUZEXY123]

WOOOW YOU COULD BE THE AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL EDITOR XD LOL THAT'S EXACTLY HOW THEY LOOK IN PICTURES, SO PERFECT SKIN, BUT THE TRUTH ... UGLY! LOL 

[aznsailo08]

wow this is cool.. you should make a video show how to retouch the picture.

[MrCJ1988]

Maaan these are incredible!!!! Do you mind posting a slow tutorial for this? it would very appreciated

[docume]

ok great bully for you but its f-cking ridiculous, are you trying to show how good you are or are you trying to teach ??????!!!!!!!

[SurfCracker]

I don't think anyone really believes this is what a woman should look like or try to look like.

What we see here is purely a demonstration of photoshop skills, well executed !

[Mika22rus]

What a hell are u doing??? that was professional retouched picture already and u made plastic doll.

Great Job!

[Doc12699]

@Mika22rus Guess he never heard of frequency seperation

[Rudy4President]

Stunning job, mate :) where did ya get those beautiful lash brushes?

[danamezjohn]

she does seem more animated like a character in a game or something in that sorts

[leo140485]

Impressive skills, no doubt... but the After Image just looks like CGI to me now... it's like she belongs in a video game...

[sofiahkhan]

OH MY GOD, that was just brilliant work, and yes i agree that its women who go above n beyond to do exactly that to look beautiful to men and the world, but this vid and the fact women r the ones who r nuts have nothing to do with one another...... great work i still have my jaw hanging open :P although far too fast for me to have picked how to do this

[sofiahkhan]

that was brilliant work , i was in awe over ur skills.....tooooo good

[unseensoul]

I was about to click on another clip because it wasn't a "How-to..." then I just started to watch. I learned a lot! It never occurred to me to use a preset brush to enhance eye lashes!!!! LOL

Keep it up!

[ginadiolazo18]

what is the tool you did you use? can i know it.......i want to edit some pictures of mine...

[coldmemories1]

what is the tool u used here ? i couldn't identify it because you work toooo fast

[unseensoul]

@coldmemories1 He used a lot of Photoshop's tools.... He didn't use just one.

[coldmemories1]

@unseensoul

lol .... well then i didn't know about the Liquify tool :p

[SwissWebWork]

Very nice work.... nice technic

[EmYoussif]

This is what people in Hollywood call "Unattainable beauty".

I think this is pathetic.

[infodo65]

You've gone too far mate! even though the result pleases you and the editors, you have changed how this model looks excsively,anyone can do that, so its a bit pathetic to run this video so quick... but we know all you use is the patch,airbrush and liquify, big deal!

But you re not a photographer and forgot to retouch the two ugly lights in the models eyes, instead you could have removed them and add just one right in the middle of each pupil....well, you learn every day mr wizard (lol)

[utubebiznu]

Not helpful video....should go slow and talk through.

[Wesdadude]

Please write a tutorial. You seem to have the best technique.

Although there are a few things I would have done differently -the cheeks were slightly on the narrow side for me- this is a really great job.

[TheDoritosfan1]

I like the eye make-up, and the dress was pretty too

[hebsmum]

You are phenomenal at Photoshop, but I honestly think she looked better before. After the complete touchup, she looked like an android.

[eliezeralvangallegos]

not editing, pretty much created a whole new Barbie dall. :p plasticky . But dude, baaad asss job though. i envy your technique and patience

[Llamafish26]

the sad thing is that it was already editted...

very good skills though :) subbbeeddddd

[LiMissCati2009]

can you edit me :D

[alnagham]

it would be better showing us how to do everything step by step !

[ashijatt]

fucking fast tutorial it suckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkk

[771Anthony]

PHOTOSHOP ME!!! :D

[betcha83]

wow..ur so talented..i know this is too much if i asked/request/ for a tutorial on how you do this thing..i know ul going to spend hours doing a tutorial and it wasnt easy..but pls pls i hope u can do a tutorial..thank you..great job

[carmenittax]

thanks - can u explaine us ;)

[lealein1201]

unbelievable how we're being tricked every single day and feel like we're just not as pretty as those models. great job doing the editing though!

[sanya2rise]

its amazing!!!!!!, u done really a very good job but its very fast can u write an article on his i want to learn this plzz.

[AshleysBeautyCorner]

Can you do an in depth tutorial on this? <3 Thannnnks!

[carlyleallan100]

what kinda retarded how to video is this!! it doesnt tell you anything its just random shit to music WTF man!!

[wrestaling]

@carlyleallan100 its not a how to vid. its a vid displaying ones ability to do something nowhere in the title nor description does it say "how to" anything be respectful of others stuff man if you don't like it then don't watch it its that simple unless you just enjoy viewing things that don't interest you then thats a problem you can solve on your own time other wise voice an opinion that has something to do with the vid

[TylerBeat]

heey what program do you use? gimp?

[lachapellelover]

is there a slow-mo to this?? i really like ur process, but cant manage to make out what u did lol... too fast, slow it down

[candythrower]

beautiful! amazing job!

[wrestaling]

amazing vid and just to put this out there most people who viewed this missed the whole point of the vid. yes the model in the photo is very beautiful but the vid was about displaying digital retouching skill and sure no one looks like the finished product hence the reason for the title magazine >PERFECTION!! < key word so again yes the model was gorgeous and was turned perfect again its a hobby to some talent and job if you can't respect that then don't bother watching. your work here was great

[AfricanLionsHunter]

If I would work so slow my boss would have kicked me off.

[SuperVirus78]

your a master...love your work...

[solimandubanvideo]

impresionante

[garthtater41]

I don't get it... so why can't EVERYONE just be a model?

[jorshtamez]

@garthtater41 Because a model knows how to interact with the camera. Just because someone is pretty doesn't mean she/he is a model by birth.

[jinnybunny]

How do you add the eyelashes? Was that a custom made brush? I had the most trouble with eyelashes when editing. btw; amazing work. I enjoyed watching.

[1do2likeU]

She was totally beautiful to start with and ended up looking like a barbiedoll! She doesn't look real at the end. Still, great photoshop work!

[KayokoDeathbreath]

Before photoshoping she was so beatyful O:

[UhhLeanne]

You know what, it's beyond magazine already. She looks like a character from a game; like Lara Croft.

[costruzionifaschifo]

I want to know you and improve my technique. You've become my new idol! sorry for my bad english

[DoubleAIV]

That was ridiculous, all that was so unnessacary

[damirmutap]

not bad :D.. I have different way of fixing pictures.. but this is not bad too

[Seaniiex]

What is that girls name?

[sarahlouise2508]

Completely amazing! Who cares what people think about what should and shouldn't be in magazines, as a photoshop lover myself, this really demonstrates your skills with the programme!!!

[5printR]

wow they should show this a schools so girls would realize that it's impossible to look like that. Photoshop should be baned :) World would be more real!

[huffbj]

slow the bleep down geez



[lataviajonas]

how do you download this to ur computer and does it cost virusus and do u have to pay?

[CAMERON452PERRY]

I wish I had Photoshop :(

[danon1na]

can you make a slow video..plz :))

[ekasilicon]

Because of the retouch she doesn't look like real woman at all hehe

[JooyceJustME]

@ekasilicon welcome to the model n glamour world [:

[ValentinImages2009]

Great work here but this would have served better as a tuitorial for those of us who need it. than a fast paced music video

[wellack321]

Am i the only one who want to have perfect retouched women in magazines?

If i'd only seen the retouched picture i wouldnt have thought that anything was different... But as you switch back and forth between the real one and the edited one you can't ignore that she doenst look natural... She's looks plastic!

[eente501]

Terribly distorted and 99.00% of all this "transforming" is made by MEN!!!

[asianseyesRpretty2]

can you briefly describe how you remove the baby hair around her hair line?

[jldalton86]

No wonder American's view of beauty is distorted. No one will EVER look like that, but we, as women, must strive daily to achieve this look. And for what? For man's approval. No thank you.

[adrianhernandezx]

@jldalton86 If that's how you take it im sorry you feel that way.

[Kadadj]

@jldalton86 This is a Photoshop tutorial. Go to a magazine or something to complain.

[Indestructible229]

@jldalton86 American's? How about the whole world buddy. America isn't the only place in the world that has it's focus like this.

[GhostOfACPast]

@jldalton86 I completely agree with you but men have this on them as well. The thing is this person does have mad photoshop skills from what I see in this video.

[rco20]

@jldalton86

Who said it was a for a mans approval? Men are subjected to the same thing as women now adays, so come off your high horse of trials and tribulations

[ikaikaarnado]

@jldalton86 it's an art. Nothing wrong with it, the point is build the idealized person. You're right...models don't even look like the picture they are in. You have a photographer that's a lighting and posing master with budget, a model that understands her angles, world class stylists and muas, and photoshop gurus working on an image your finial product shouldn't come out like real life. The purpose is to create an illusion.

[AcryforhelpAaahhh]

@jldalton86

For man's approval ? Are you kidding me ? The ones shelling out their money for the magazines with this look are mostly WOMEN. I'm a man and I'm puzzled by the plasticity of this look. Nevertheless the video is interesting, informative and well done. Thanks.

[shakerface]

Your photoshop skills are amazing!! I learned a lot just by watching you

[adrianhernandezx]

@shakerface welcome! But these skills suck in this video.

[GhostOfACPast]

@adrianhernandezx They don't suck but it did make the person look like a cartoon character at the end but the skills shown are pretty tight.

[Doc12699]

@shakerface Please tell...what did u learn from this time lasped video?

[virginqueen1603]

this is why girls, women, boys, and men should be kept away from women's magazines and the poison they spew as popualr beauty. it has done a great disservice to girl and their self esteem and men and their search for love.

[kittycat2angel]

why change someone in to something there not??? magazines and their touch up makes people feel ugly ..... people want to be able to open magazine and see real people not a fake retuoch person, who in reality dont look like that !!! FAKE is STUPID !!!

[bluepicis]

AND THEN, SHES NOT HUMAN ANY MORE.

[ekwosi]

How do I learn to do it like you? Maybe you should write an ebook. You are really good.

[utuberine]

You took a (touched to start) girl image and turned her into a painting. Well done. Computers will learn to make us perfect and when they take over they gonna be hard to spot. Unless people like you teach them.

[xdenieszx]

they make them more beautifuller.

[bzd615]

Wow.

Before she looked real and hot

After she just looks...photoshoped and very blured and fake, like a painting.

[mkj10002]

Its people like you who inspire me : )

[juliana23351]

she looks beautiful b4 and she looks hot and fake after!!!

[bravoman368]

she looks beautiful b4 and after =D

[2shae1980]

Reminds me of Beowulf

[Nibbbling]

Not knocking the skills, but why you'd want someone to look like the end result is beyond me. Real men want real girls.

[Valon2010]

wie kann man das nur so drauf haben ey.... einfach geil

[RobotBunny1990]

No wonder girls have such self image issues.....lil girls see this as "perfect." What is perfect? Hurts...

[AyanaLinval]

K just watched this to the end, she doesn't look like a real person anymore. Also, there is something called ethnic sensitivity in the beauty world. Plastic surgeons have to take courses on it now, because ppl have to realize that the white woman's facial structure isn't the only beautiful map out there. You changed her features and made her look like a fake baked white girl I used to go to school with, at best she looks like a fake baked Italian.

[AyanaLinval]

Photoshop over photoshop....facepalm

[MrExclusivTV]

end result look like a 3d rendered model o.O
