SAVE THE TWO AVS ABOVE.

BEGINNING WITH THE FACE AV, GO TO COLORS>>>GRAYSCALE 

GO TO COLORS>>>ADJUST>>>BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST>>>

BRIGHTNESS =    (minus)   - 25 .............. CONTRAST 45

GO TO COLORS>>> INCREASE COLORS TO 16 MIL

(PLEASE NOTE:  I DO NOT NORMALLY USE CONTRAST                         

AS HIGH AS 45---THIS AV SEEMED PARTICULARLY 

DRAB AND FLAT.  MOST TIMES, I MAY USE AROUND 

NUMBER 15 FOR CONTRAST.  YOU JUST HAVE TO 

EXPERIMENT WITH CONTRAST AND BRIGHTNESS)

USING  YOUR RETOUCH TOOL>>>COLOR TO TARGET>>>

SHAPE = ROUND........SIZE = 20 .....HARDNESS = 0....

OPACITY = 5.....STEP = 24.....DENSITY = 100

FLESH COLOR NUMBERS:  R 213....G 170.....B 139

PAINT ALL FLESH AREAS USING THESE SETTINGS.                                                    

FOR COLORING CHEEKS, LIPS, ETC, I USED THESE NUMBERS:

R203.....G 133....B 109

CHANGE BRUSH SIZE TO 15, AND LIGHTLY DAB SOME OF THIS

 COLOR ONTO THE CHEEKS.  INCREASE BRUSH SIZE TO 20,

AND PUT A SLIGHT HINT OF COLOR ON SHOULDERS. 

DECREASE BRUSH SIZE TO 1, AND INCREASE OPACITY TO 10,

AND  COLOR LIPS.

TO BRIGHTEN WHITE OF EYES,  I USE THE AIRBRUSH TOOL,

 WITH THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS:  ROUND.....SIZE = 1 .....

HARDNESS = 0 .....OPACITY = 9......STEP = 25.....DENSITY = 100

ENLARGE AV QUITE A BIT, SO YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE THE

FEW PIXELS TO LIGHTEN.

COLOR FOR EYES:  R 139.....G 154..... B 165

USING RETOUCH TOOL, SIZE 1.....OPACITY 15.

ENLARGE AV, JUST ADD A FEW DABS TO GIVE SOME

 COLOR TO EYES

COLOR FOR HAT & DRESS:  R 214.....G 164.....B 142 (OR

WHATEVER COLOR YOU LIKE)

USE RETOUCH TOOL:  BRUSH SIZE 11 (OR WHATEVER IS

GOOD FOR YOU)  OPACITY 5, AND PAINT IN THE HAT AND

DRESS AREAS

RETOUCH TOOL>>> SOFTEN

SETTINGS :  ROUND......SIZE 3 (FOR CHEEKS).....

HARDNESS 10.....OPACITY 55..... STEP 25......DENSITY 100

ENLARGE AV, AND CAREFULLY "SOFTEN" CHEEKS AND

CHIN WITH A LIGHT TAPPING OF TOOL.  DO NOT GO OVER

 NOSE, LIPS, EYES...OR IT WILL BECOME VERY BLURRED. 

 WHEN FACE LOOKS PLEASING, INCREASE BRUSH SIZE

TO 20, DECREASE OPACITY  TO 22, AND SOFTEN ARMS,

DRESS AND HAT.  DO NOT GO OVER FACE AGAIN.

INCREASE COLOR ON BACKGROUND AV TO 16 MIL

MAKE ANOTHER COPY OF PAINTED FACE AV (SHIFT D)

COPY AND PASTE BACKGROUND TO ONE OF THE FACE

AVS.  ENLARGE DUPLICATE COPY OF AV, AND ENLARGE

 AV WITH BACKGROUND ON IT.  PLACE SIDE BY SIDE.

ERASER TOOL:  ROUND.......SIZE 40......HARDNESS 0.......

OPACITY 55STEP 25.....DENSITY 100

USING FACE AV AS A GUIDE, ERASE FACE, HAT AND

HAND AREA ONLY

USING ERASER TOOL AGAIN, INCREASE SIZE TO 70,

DECREASE OPACITY TO 22, AND ERASE A BIT MORE. 

THIS WILL GRADUALLY BLEND BACKGROUND TO AV.

FINALLY, INCREASE SIZE TO 90, DECREASE OPACITY TO 9,

AND ERASE A LITTLE MORE, UNTIL SOFTLY BLENDED.

GO TO LAYERS>>> MERGE>>> MERGE ALL.

ADD YOUR FAVORITE FONT, AND YOU ARE ALL FINISHED !
