You prob had this question asked many times before but I really want to know how people get their photos to look so perfect.
Like this:

or even something simple like this:

Looks better than my photos.
I have this photo but it just doesn't look good.

This is the original photo I took
http://www.image-upload.net/files/3682/Before.jpg

And this is the best I can get it.
http://www.image-upload.net/files/3682/After.jpg
Using this tutorial: http://www.photoshoptalent.com/photoshop-tutorials/improve-face-by-removing-freckles.php

But it still doesn't look that good. The colour and lighting isn't good.
Any tips, tutorials, or ideas I can use to improve the photo.

Make the shot as close to perfect in the camera as you can - don't depend on Photoshop to salvage a bad photo.

Watch the shadows.

Always use fill flash outdoors.
