boss, I tried to edit the original ang making a sample about akoa lang nga preferrence sa lightness sa eyes nga area... dont worry boss, I'll delete this picture boss from my photobucket in a given time.... naghimo lang ko ug basis sa akong suggestion for you to get what I mean

ganahan diay ka ug mga low-key and dramatic lighting boss... thats nice

added a very minor glow


emphasizing more on her wrinkles

DRAGAN Effect... lookks good, but adding 2 more layers (blended with overlay and hue, respectively) would have emphasized the lines and the color. One layer is inverted monochrome and the other layer is Sepia...

Blending control is critical.

noted on that boss... but the low-res pics of homer I edited are no way near to Andrzej's works or might have touched his work-flow... the 2 minute steps I did was --> levels: Auto, adjust opacity, color balance, general shadow/highlight and added a very little gaussian blurr for glow... I didnt even touch on those hotspots below the eyebrow and cheeks... pics was only a basis for my suggestion to homer that the "eye area" would be better if brighten a bit...

but I will take your advice about post processing if I would venture about Andrzej's way
