Photoshop Tutorial: Quality retouch face in Photoshop

In this lesson on Photoshop you will learn how to make retouch skin professionals. The skin will take care of healthy, outside the plastic effect or smearing.

I hope our courses photoshop you like them. We turn to the lesson ...

1. Open the photo in Photoshop. In this lesson, try to use high-resolution images, where you can uglyadet skin texture.

2. Make a duplicate layer and paste it into the group. To accomplish this, press Ctrl + J, to duplicate the crust, and then Ctrl + G, to accommodate an unusual layer of the group. Group call «Airbrush», and the troposphere «Blur» (Blur).

Cork «Blur» we will use to blur the skin. Then, we add another epidermis to restore the natural skin texture.

3. Choose the epidermis «Blur». To dilute the current layer, use a blur filter on the surface. Passed to the filter is similar to Gaussian Blur, the difference lies in the fact that it leaves the border more detailed. We need to blur the crust so that the skin is smoothed, but without the blurry edges.

4. Here's what my illustration after applying a blur filter on the surface. Your image should look like mine, the details of the eye should not dwell affected.

5. Create a new plaque and place it over the layer with the blur. Call the current layer «Texture» and change the rules of mixing in the harsh light (Hard Light). The existing layer will be used to would add texture to the skin, as well as adjust the tone of the skin.

6. Textures created in this layer, the final picture does not really seem to be. It can be see if you just use a large increase. But despite this skin will not watch too smooth or as it seems plastic.

Below is a prototype of the result.

7. Make sure that you have selected endoderm «Texture». Press Shift + F5 or go to the list of Edit> Fill (Edit - Fill). Put the setting tool, sometimes as in the picture below.

8. Then go to Filter list> Fuss. Thus, you add a light noise on the image, thus avoiding the "effect of the skin of plastic. For filter sketch can search out too sharply, but the next step, we fix this by applying the Gaussian Blur filter (Gaussian Blur).

9. Go to the list of Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur. The radius of the blur put 1 pixel.

10. Now we take a sample of the color of this layer. To begin, select the Eyedropper tool . Select a sample of skin color, which you seem more appropriate, you may be not very accurate, because fundamentally, we will adjust the color later in the lesson. In the color palette, click on lilliputian triangle in a circle and a pop-up list, select the model HSB. We need to mature HSB values for the next step.

11. Open the Color note / Saturation by pressing Ctrl + U. Check tinted and check the settings to match with the parameters of HSB from the top step.

12. Select the group «Airbrush» on the layer panel and then go to Layer menu> endoderm Mask> Hide All (Layer - Layer mask - Hide all). Thus, we will create a layer mask filled with black color, which will hide the whole group. In this layer mask we daub the area in which we want to add touch-up.

13. Now, press D on your keyboard to determine the background colors to default black and ash gray. Select the Brush Tool and the following settings.

Increase the illustration to 100% and paint the skin. Do not worry if hrustenie skin will seem wrong. This is because we have not chosen just the color, when we used a note of color / hue saturation of the layer Texture, because once it is very difficult to accomplish. To correct results we arrive at that time. Use the following keyboard shortcuts to change the standard brush and hardness:
* Reducing the size of brushes: [
* Increase the size of brushes:]
* Decrease the brush softness by 25%: Shift + [
* Multiply the softness of the brush at 25%: Shift +]

In those places where you paint the skin, your mask layer should have a field of white, and the skin smooth spy.

Now we're going to fix the color of the skin, as we said before in this lesson. Choose a wrapper »Texture» and press Ctrl + U. Change the settings to acquire normal skin tone.

In the "color tone" set free right. I increased it to 10 units, adding a yellow tint, thus reducing the red area.
Settings "Saturation" Whatever comes is significantly reduced. Adjust the natural setting until now the skin tone will not search out clearly, but not too pale.
Brightness contrast, requires minor changes when you adjust it, you'll see how sensitive the present setting. If this option is set accurately, the picture will search out more naturally.

We will restore parts of the skin, go to the list of the Image> External channel (Image - Apply Image). In the dialog, set the following settings.

We have added the data of the red channel, because its skin looks more refined. In the picture below you can be the difference channels.

Final results.
Here you see the final effect after using the technique of airbrush.

By changing the range of the image, you'll notice that the small irregularities of the skin all over again visible. Even at the lower right image obtained by the sum looks natural because of the layer Texture, outside this layer the image would look like a monochromatic color than noise.
