Exercise: Enhancement.
This face is mine and is beyond the help of simple enhancement. I tried lightening, and I tried darkening, I tried selective smoothing and the cloning out of wrinkles and marks but all to no avail. In the end I gave myself a pair of blue eyes. I wanted then to look real so I limited the amount of change. The change hasn't done me any favours in that I think I appear older and meaner. I certainly look like my long departed grandfather.
I commented on the acceptability of this sort of enhancement in the last entry. Flattering lighting is one thing, but the enhancing of a face or figure to the extent it is done in advertising is straight forward fraud.
The technique was similar to the one used on the Sri Lankan farmer. I masked the eyes in Photoshop and painted in the new colour very gradually so as to give natural looking eyes rather than the bright blue eyes of a younger man.
