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
