Banks Cabinets Photo Re-Touch

Recently a friend (an excellent cabinet maker / carpenter) who owns Banks Cabinets here in Utah  asked me to create an image he could use as his profile photo (or avatar) for Facebook and LinkedIn. I always enjoy working with photos in Photoshop so I agreed and proceeded to touch up the photo. It needed a lot of work. After about 2 and 1/2 hours of work I finally had something I was proud of.

Here’s what I did to it:

  1. Color corrected entire image
  2. Reduced the amount of Reds
  3. Added red back to lips
  4. Removed yellow/orange tinge from shirt
  5. Removed blemishes on shirt and face
  6. Whitened teeth
  7. Brightened eyes
  8. Straightened shirt logo
  9. Blurred highlights a bit
  10. Reduced highlights a bit
  11. Added wood background
  12. Added Banks Cabinets logo
  13. Marveled at my genius

Thanks for this opportunity Banks Cabinets!
