PHOTOGRAPH RETOUCHING and DIGITAL MAKEOVERS we can 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 "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 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 a role of course, but the 'perfection' you see in the media is almost always achieved by digital artists like ourselves! Professional retouching is a painstaking, time-consuming business - and normally very expensive. At keithjones.net, however, we have developed techniques that enable us to work very quickly. This means we are able to charge less, bringing professional photo retouching within reach of 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 boost' * If it's OK for Hollywood stars and Supermodels, why not you? * Brush away the years with a "Digital Facelift", lose pounds with a "Digital Diet"! Of course, you don't have to go for an extreme makeover: gentle image enhancement can be used for photos on Facebook, Myspace and dating sites. They can even improve your job prospects: enhanced images on your CV can help you get that all-important interview! Digital makeovers make great gifts too: Ideal for Father's Day, Mother's day, Christmas, Birthdays, Anniversaries and, of course, Valentine's Day! If you need a gift for that special person, give them one that will touch their heart and bring a smile to their face. And don't think Digital Makeovers are just for girls! Men of all ages use our services - from toning down beer bellies and pumping up muscles, to removing wrinkles and clearing up acne! Other Services Sometimes you're entirely happy with the way you look in a photo but the effect is spoiled by an untidy or inappropriate background. Or perhaps there's someone else in the frame that you would prefer not to be there! Whatever the problem our digital artists will put it right for you. We can repair damaged or faded photographs. We can change hair and eye colour, lighten dark skin or give pasty, pale skin a glowing tan! Just tell us what you want and we'll do it for you. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS: How does it work?
