I don't find the shape shift to her features flattering. The before shot shows her having very attractive structure. The after shot looks like like a different person -- like a twin sister.
I find the Skin effects to be slightly over applied. If reduced just a bit, the complexion would still clean up significantly while still retaining a sense of realism.
Thanks for your observations. At two comments on shape, I'm guessing it's not popular. LOL. I keep studying the GIF to see where the difference is (looking especially at the right side--her left side) and the shaping looks so subtle. Again, I lengthened the neck some and wonder if that's adding to the change somehow.
As to skin, I experimented a lot because I don't like it overdone, either. So, in my estimation, I added just enough to get rid of pock marks and deep pores. You can still see some (under her lip and on the right of the image above her (her) left eye, I believe. At any rate, the skin texture (though a bit hard to see at this image size) shows a slight skin texture--especially noticeable looking on the right side of the image (her left side) and certainly isn't "smoothed out to a horrible gaussian glow"--LOL).
Again, thanks for your comments. I'll pay more attention next time.
