Very unrealistic endresult. Cannot understand this, skin has to be unrealistically smooth, rendering the whole image utterly lifeless, perhaps better to make computer animations, than to waste this talent and effort on retouching.
There are some serious problems with this retouch, that were pointed out in the Fstoppers post. These are problems that a experienced professional never would have let go in a published image. Most of the transformation involves frequency separation, which is a basic retouching technique, although to use it successfully requires a very delicate touch. Kristina overused it here. She also lacks an eye for shape, as you can see from the flattened cheeks and fingers. No disrespect to her, but feature her as an expert and teacher is out of her league, by what I can see.
@Garrett We’ll be posting instructions on how to download and install the action, as well as info on Kristina’s DVD, in a blog post alongside the video recording of today’s webinar on the PhotoShelter Blog in the next day or two, so please be on the lookout for that!
Hmm… in the first shot she looks human and in the second shot like a strange space alien. Gotta love the beauty industry!
Yuk!

GREAT work. Exactly where I’m trying to take my own work.
keen to see the webinar video – when will it be online?
@Alison We’ll be posting a video recording on the blog later this week, so please be on the lookout for that!
You have been saying that you will post a recording “later in the week”. That time has come and gone, when will you post it?
@John The live event is at 4pm today, April 9th, so we will post it after the live event has taken place. Thanks!
Thanks Lauren!
Great webinar. Thanks Kristina! I’m looking for the link to Kristina’s downloadable link. Any ideas?

I attended the webinar. It was very informative. How do we go about getting the PS action?
Did anyone else have trouble downloading the PS action?
What about her 5 hr training video? Haven’t found it yet at PhotoshopCafe and no way to search the site…
I tried to download Kristian’s action after the webinar and all I got was a page of words and ?. How does one download and save the actions?
