The ‘infamous’ Sarah Palin Newsweek Cover is retouched and softened/airbrushed in 60 seconds with the Skin Smoothing features of Sagelight Editor. Sagelight has many image enhancement and retouch features. This video shows how the Skin Smoothing and Soft Glow & Focus effects are used to retouch the image and make Sarah Palin look much better (as one normally would on a cover of a national magazine like Newsweek). All in about 1 minute. I’m not a Sarah follower, but after seeing the before/after views, and analyzing the Newsweek image, my opinion is that the original picture of Sarah Palin actually seems to be post-sharpened (which causes closeups to look very harsh like this one — typically, you don’t see such sharpness without post-sharpening). Again, that’s just my opinion. But, you’ll have to see it for yourself. This video shows how simple the skin smoothing features are of Sagelight Editor. This is a series of ‘1 minute videos’ I am making to show the power and ease-of-use with Sagelight. Image Editor. The before and after example definitely shows the difference between what they could have published vs. the picture that appears on the cover.
