This 60-second image enhancement & retouch shows how just a few changes can make a big difference an image.

Though Sagelight has the Skin Smoothing retouch feature, this was not needed here. I added a soft-focus and the enhanced the contrast with the Dodge and Burn Brush. The was smoothed by the soft glow, and then sharpness was added back in via the contrast I added with the soft glow.

I went especially contrasty in this picture, as her black jacket and hair, combined with the pink stripe of her hair complemented by her lips of the same color; all this made me want to create a very stark image to highlight her beautiful face -- and that look!

For an example of more skin smoothing and retouching, see the "Sarah Palin Newsweek Cover" retouch/skin-smoothing 1-minute video I posted.
