Wow! With that much cleanup in post, the phrase "photorealistic painting" comes to mind.
Can you tell us more about your techniques and how long this takes??
I am particularly curious about how you handle the hundreds of irregular dark areas that look like waterdrop stains.

Hehe, I payed my bills during my university days shooting beauty photography for makeup artists who needed before/after photos. Naturally we cheated big time so I have retouched many many square feet of facial skin  Basically I go over the entire image at 800% doing pixel retouch. cloning, healing, localized curves. An image like this took maybe 4-5 episodes of doctor who (I work fastest with something running in the backhround).
I will often miss something so I have a folder that cycles my images as wallpapers on my home and work computers, it's a nice way of finding stupid mistakes that I then go back and fix later.
If there is an interest I could maybe record the screen while retouching an image? I dont do commented videos but a 10x speed video might be interesting to some?
(I cant promise when I have the time to do it though) |

oh right the old blower and Photoshop ... good to see the difference ... cool, thanks ...
And yes I'm too into Photoshop retouching in a big way ... and like you love using it for cleaning up images ... beauty and other ... I use blending methods more than plugins ...

Just had a peek at your Flickr images.
Your work remind me of another great photoshop artist , Tomas Rak / Tomatito.
The same uberclean and PP-ed to the max images, spending many many hours on this stacks.
Hats off to your PS skills and congrats on getting the frontpage.

I would definitely love to see a screen capture video of your touch-up procedure. That could be extremely educational.
