Grey Lady Softened Skin

The original image comes from ezoeta at Stock.xchng

The image was softened using the photoshop plugin Portraiture by Imagenomic which alows you to soften the pixels that represent the skin tones giving you a soft airbrushed type of appearance.

Grey Lady With Blue Background

I masked and desaturated the face and dropped in a new background composed of a cracked tile bitmap overlayed onto a white to black gradient. Then I brushed back a little of the original coloured face for the lips and eyes and recoloured the eyes to match the background tiles. A very soft drop shadow added a little more depth to finish of the image.
