PHOTOGRAPH ENHANCEMENT and DIGITAL MAKEOVERS allow us to improve your image! Digital Image Makeover / Beauty Makeover (commercial clients click here) They say the camera cannot lie, but how often have you looked at a photograph of yourself and thought "Wow, is that really me - do I really look that bad?" (Yes, I'm afraid we've all been there!) The problem is that 'still' photographic portraits just cannot compare with the real thing. When people see you in the flesh they get the whole package - nice smile, twinkly eyes, great personality - in other words a living, breathing, REAL person. That's why photographs rarely seem to do you justice. So how come the models in glossy magazines always manage to look great? How do they get their flawless skin, pearly white teeth and gorgeous eyes? Mother nature plays an important role of course, but the 'perfection' portrayed by the the media is almost always achieved by digital artists like us! Professional photo retouching is a painstaking, time-consuming business - and normally very expensive. At keithjones.net, however, we have developed techniques that enable us to work more rapidly. This means we can charge less for each job—to the extent where we now offer an affordable retouching service to the general public. At keithjones.net we give your favourite photos a 'Digital Makeover'. We remove skin imperfections, smooth out wrinkles on face and neck, wipe away spots and shiny patches, fix imperfect teeth - even help you shed a few pounds! (digitally, of course!) Why would you want a Digital Image Makeover? * It's cheaper (and less painful) than plastic surgery! * It's just a nice thing to have - like a flattering oil painting * Gives a great 'confidence a boost' * Hollywood stars and Supermodels use them - why not you? * Brush away the years with a "Digital Facelift", lose pounds with a "Digital Diet"!
