There may be plenty of examples of how to retouch but those of my friends who don't follow that sort of stuff I wanted to show you what can be achieved with Photoshop in under three hours, and I'm not in any way a pro at this.

You may remember this image from an earlier post.  I did a bit of work on the eyes but not much else.

Looks more beauty like but I feel the top image still captured the essence of the project overall.
