In the end, we will go through the rendering and class projects solar start the class. 2. Detail Mainting Retouching technique: So here I have opened our example picture of a quarter of a boy and we will try to retouch it your skin very professional way. And we will follow the workflow. First of all, we need to duplicate the layer. It will select the layer and we will duplicate it. After that, we will go to the Filter and go to the blur, and we will select Surface Blur. Then we will select the radius according to our, our requirements. We can select it around 16 and we can select the threshold around 30. So it will, it will not too much detail of the picture. And after that we will select, Okay, and then we will duplicate the layer diagram earlier. We will duplicate the layer we treated with the surface blur filter. Rule. Duplicate it and then we will go to the Filter again and we will select the other, and we will select the boss, the high-pass, we will select the shadow radius according to our requirement, 10%. So we will be Peeps the detailing save. Ten is perfect. We can change the radius off offset according to how much detail we want in our picture. I think Jen is perfect, so we'll select the ten and then we will change the layer opacity from normal to linear light. Then we will select it 70%. And then we will select both layers. We will group it and we will select the Layer, Layer Mask and hide it all. Here. It created our group part of the face retouching. And then we will select the brush tool and select the soft round brush. And we will start selecting the area we want to detach. Just zooming the fixture and slightly start retouching the area we want to return. To smooth it. We can change the opacity and we can change the flow of our brush. So it can control, it can, it will give you the control of brush tool. If your face into teaching very professional, like mostly keep my floor to the 60. Give me a decent look and feel. We will select it and we will start tracing out our details. This is a very professional way to keep our feces retouched and keep the details of the pictures alive. Stick your climb. It will take little time and start focusing on the areas that you want to detach and then keep the opacity around 73%. It can give you a realistic field. This is the first part where we teach our portrait in a decent, professional way. The details of the picture, the beauty of the face is the same, but enhance your beauty. This is the before and this is after. So we almost retouched a decent amount of picture. 3. Extra smooth retouch: After that, we will just merge it, merged both layers and keep it one. Now if we require to add more detail than we want all the phase smooth, we can duplicate this layer and we will go to the Filter again. And we will select the stylize distort. It will go to the noise and selected dust and scratches. And we will change the radius according to our requirements together will be the face features are hiding and the scars and the pupil marks are hiding. Then we will select OK. And after that we will go to the blur filter and then Surface Blur again. And we will select it according to our requirements. Keep the details of the picture are live. Then we will select Okay and go to the Layer Mask again and Pi D doll. And the use of brush tool with the lower floor around 2037 or maybe 45 is perfect. We will start revealing our layer mask. So it will start hiding the mask. I think 16 workflow is perfect. It's giving a very smooth effect. We can repeat where we want more smoothing. It will take a little time to smooth it down all the parts of it, of the face. It will give a very realistic and very plastic field effect. Usually it's a quick way to reattach the skin. That's how we can give our face-to-face teaching very smooth effect. And we can hide more marks and more scarred and Morpheus details and p bit more makeup like fill in our portraits. And then we will dump. So here is before and here he is after all for our scene. 4. Pimples and scars removeing: Here I opened another picture for the workflow of how we can remove the impulse. We will simply select the spot healing tool. And we will increase the size of sport healing tool and market around where we want our impulses removed. There is another way we will just select the patch tool and select the area of the pimple we wanted to remove. And we will select the skin nearby and it will compute it immovable pimple. We have to select the skin area nearby so to keep the distance, it will keep the color, tone, and color theme, same of the picture. A little time taken process, but the practice, you can keep it perfect. Just select the area I don't pin falls and just keep your batch of a little bit so it can highlight the other parts of phase and merge it over. Just a little time taking, but it's a very professional way to remove the pimples and to give your, your portrait photogenic and realistic look. And there is a shortcut as well to remove the pimples, you can use it just to select the color of the dead area and select the brush tool. Keep the brush size a large, and keep the workflow, the flow of brush around 50 and just mark slightly. And it will give a little makeup look. I don't want to your PC and hide your all the field for them give you a very, very small standard, very skin. Professional makeup, the skin. But you have to keep the floor for your filter. 47 or 50. And you have to keep it very little. This is how we can remove from the portrait and p bar very professional, very smooth skin without going through the face, rotating. 5. Face modification: Now we will explore how we can change the phase shift. We can change the lips and eyes shape with the use of LIGO of liquefied tool, we will go to the filter and we will select the Liquify. Liquify tool will open. And then we will select the fear severely confine, and it will select the faces. Then we have options of eyes I highlight, I can change it accordingly. And it will increase the size or five. You can increase the height of five degrees vertical files accordingly. You can change the direction of also directional. If I use in order goods twice, then you can change the options. You can change the height of nodes, you can change the width of nodes around your all your requirements or face shape changes can be filled through this filter. You can change the forehead just because you have to experiment with it and you can change it. You can smooth out your jaw line. You can increase or decrease your your jaw line.

And then we will start coloring. It. Will give your portrait lips ready. Enhanced, very beautiful look. You can play with the law, but you have to play with the best year as well to keep the things that realistic. I will breath around 4623. So it will keep realistic and then you can smooth out the corners with the eraser tool. It will start giving more realistic approach to the lips of our portrait. 7. Change eye color: Now we will explore how we can change the color. For the eye color. We have to select the Quick Selection tool and zoom in and select the area after debt. Duplicate that area Layer via Copy, and we have our eyes separate. After that, we will select Hue and Saturation, and then we will give it a clipping mask. So the hue and saturation change will only effective on the IEEE selection. And then we will increase a little saturation to increase the eye color. And we can change the brightness and contrast. So if i, and then using a few section, we can change the color of the eye. This is a very quick way to change the color of eyes. But we have also other way where we can use it already professionally highlighted. This is how we can change the eye color. But the other way to change the eye color is just select that dodge tool and it will highlight and start highlighting the retina bar. Select the mid tone and start highlighting your 13 up part of your eyes. And it will start highlighting the Eichler. That third method to use is to enhance the eye color is using the brush tool and I brush, I have different brushes available in my gallery. I will share the eyebrows with you as well so you can use it to change the colors. Just select, go to the gallery. It will take a little time to find us the eye filter, and here it is. We have different brushes. I always slept 652 wire brush. And just create a new layer and select the color you want to. I selected the red.
