I was just playing with the animation tool in Photoshop. This photo was taken by one of my trainees. She is a teen who models for their salon. And she wanted the photo to be more glamorous. Using the MCP Photoshop Actions from the Ultimate Portrait Package: Color Burst and Peek-a-Boo from the Complete Workflow, plus Magic Skin and Eye Doctor, we achieved this easily.
On the web I am seeing some banding issues from the high compression that took place converting it using save for web as an animated gif file. It is not on the original but despite that, I still wanted to share as I was just playing around with it.

You and the Trainee did a great job on the post work. Very Nice! Im not sure if its just me, but the mole appears to be slightly dark on the final version. Could this be from the way the file was updated

ttexxan - I think it is from the increase in contrast - as that makes darks look darker. Also sharpening tends to add contrast and pull dark pixels together. So that may be why too.
