The skin retouching is composed of <b>three</b> steps:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>First, the impurities of skin are removed.</li>
<li>Second, balance the color differences of skin</li>
<li>Third, the skin is smoothened, taking into account the natural skin pores.</li>
</ul>
The third step is the most challenging, as we have to soften the rough texture of skin while keeping the skin pores still present to give it a natural look. The skin retouching is recommended if pimples, spots and light reflections let the skin looks restless and unclean. The effect of the retouching is silky-smooth skin that will look even more natural.<br />

<b>1. Step: Remove skin blemishes</b></div>
<div>
The patch tool and healing brush are ideal for touching up blemishes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Healing Brush tool works like the Clone Stamp. Choose areas with the Alt key and then as a source of focused areas of the skin can be processed. The difference is that Clone Stamp is to compensate for brightness, contrast, hue and saturation. Thus a source of healing brush forgives variations in color consistency of the goal area, etc.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS6b8sBe8hCYlDKyLbAmU8ettBchJkUqmUeIlTTN1XmCtAGnI22CZSdSlZOP734_MdqLD8x3zzF-BdWEZGtFcR92v29yj2wyOvygmgl3evvJal5cGbOCQ7RLkqbVxOtleZlS5pK48n5LT6/s1600/photo3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS6b8sBe8hCYlDKyLbAmU8ettBchJkUqmUeIlTTN1XmCtAGnI22CZSdSlZOP734_MdqLD8x3zzF-BdWEZGtFcR92v29yj2wyOvygmgl3evvJal5cGbOCQ7RLkqbVxOtleZlS5pK48n5LT6/s320/photo3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
The Patch tool is a hybrid of lasso tool and healing brush tool. A source is thereby selected by the tool, and then slid a better range in the selection.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjpYAZUXvixAdksAcEsfSmZnfJad_JJWOSGLPnpxNpIIBfKf1NHYLr-zzcju_Y84V7kcf8ceY-PI2EbwdIbWojsK7-mrKQGBASnHwW-BitETIHT5Kar9A3gc5-n9Era6yI12NN5CtJruNX/s1600/photo4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjpYAZUXvixAdksAcEsfSmZnfJad_JJWOSGLPnpxNpIIBfKf1NHYLr-zzcju_Y84V7kcf8ceY-PI2EbwdIbWojsK7-mrKQGBASnHwW-BitETIHT5Kar9A3gc5-n9Era6yI12NN5CtJruNX/s320/photo4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Which tool is exactly what?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Patch tool can quickly touch up the larger areas such as wrinkles. The repair tool is intuitive, because the pre-selected area is not necessary. This can edit more small and detailed parts of the image.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whether you want to remove freckles from the picture, always depends on the client. For pure post-processing of photos for model / private, definitely consult with the person to lead, because track freckles, scars and moles also part of the external identity. Small bumps are no problem and can be removed safely. In this example, I show how the Healing brush is used to remove the small skin abnormalities.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With Alt I choose in the adjacent area of skin to be treated to provide a clean area. With a small, soft brush then I fix the impure skin. The spots disappear very quickly and easily.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I go by the face and remove the disturbing elements.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>2. Skin colors converge</b></div>
<div>
The skin may appear restless when isolated areas are darker or lighter than others. The balance, makes the skin look more vital and clean.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It would be ideal if I color skin irritations in the reinforcing effect, so I have a perfect measure for compensation. The quickest way is that I create a new adjustment layer – dynamics and move both controls (dynamics and saturation) to approximately + 80.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Dynamics adjustment layer is available in Photoshop CS4 only. In Photoshop CS5, it’s named as Vibrance. For previous versions, you can use Channel Mixer Adjustment Layer in Monochrome mode to get the same.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It all depends on the attitude of regulators such as the face is dark already. The darker face, the less I move the slider to the right.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now I see clearly where there are imbalances in color.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
I put a new layer with <b>50%</b> gray in Overlay mode, tick the checkbox “Fill with Overlay-neutral color”. 50 percent gray is almost the original value.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYD-2p3Grx0_H5EHjtxDHjIYY7tEFRYLjzKfPQ67r_iZK8Y4AY6enuArrBaQuEoZ2g2W_rCUrcnOj2SlXY5ITyR-hXDCVJO6kGGDe5Weqha5lx7Nksm3plOeyhY6SwaYnLfMXfqYUSn-K0/s1600/photo6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYD-2p3Grx0_H5EHjtxDHjIYY7tEFRYLjzKfPQ67r_iZK8Y4AY6enuArrBaQuEoZ2g2W_rCUrcnOj2SlXY5ITyR-hXDCVJO6kGGDe5Weqha5lx7Nksm3plOeyhY6SwaYnLfMXfqYUSn-K0/s320/photo6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Now pick a soft brush and very low opacity (5-15 percent). Choose dark gray as foreground color and light gray as a background color. You can quickly change the colors with X so that the skin offsets the shadows and highlights.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Quickly use the brush to remove all the skin freckles and adjusts the skin shadows and highlights as follows.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
Right now, the following happens – you can see it in Normal mode:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Now, the dynamics(Vibrance) adjustment layer can then be deleted or deactivated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
The adjustment layer dynamics are there only in<b> Photoshop CS4</b>. Alternatively, to do this in previous versions of CS4, choose a channel mixer from the adjustment layer. Tick a monochrome and reduce the red and green channel and increase the blue channel. You will get a similar effect in black and white similar to the dynamics/Vibrance.</div>

<b>3. Making Smooth Skin while keeping the pores</b></div>
<div>
<b>3.1 – The classic: Blur and reduce opacity </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Gaussian blur is there for a very long time in Photoshop, and it was so early for retouching purposes, particularly for smoothing skin. With this filter, a person can brush up on some easy way.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Press<b> Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E</b>, it will copy all the visible layer to a new layer and convert it into a Smart Object. Smart Object has the advantage that I can always change the degree of blur.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now I choose menu <b>Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur</b>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
I fill the Smart Filter mask with black color, so that no area is covered by soft focus. Then I paint with a soft white brush that should be blurred with medium coverage from all parts of the skin . I save the edges of the image especially hair, eyes and mouth.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Thus I have softened the rough skin structures without changing the entire structure. Now I reduce the layer opacity to between <b>40 </b>and <b>70</b> percent. By reducing the opacity of the layer, skin pores get back into the picture. If necessary I can customize filter for the smart blur .</div>

The Gaussian blur of skin can definitely be used for smoothing. However, this process may result in loss of detailed information, stand out even at high resolutions. For a fine skin retouching, combination of other tools and filters is recommended.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>3.2 – Blurring and sharpening</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the normal blur, reduce the opacity of the layer mask, the softness of the skin and the visibility of pores with a controller or in a balanced. The soft-colored skin, the less structures remain visible from the pores.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another popular method combined with the skin smoothing is blur with a sharpening.</div>
<div>

The high pass filter is often used for sharpening by the level of a 50-percent gray level, it sharpens the contours and used with Overlay mode with the existing image. Here, this effect is reversed. The high pass converts the image back from 50-percent gray in to normal view.</div>

With the radius of the blur, I was able to smooth the rough skin structures within the specified radius, ie, adjust pixel radius, and the pores with the high-pass filter to work out.</div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">It’s true. Women spend a lot of time getting ready. That is because the makeup application process is quite tedious and time-consuming. The physical process of </span><br />
<div style="display: inline !important;">
</div>
<div style="display: inline !important;">
<span style="color: #444444;">applying makeup involves concealing blemishes and painting the face with rich colors. In many ways, the process mirrors that of digital retouching techniques. In this </span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="display: inline !important;">
</div>
<div style="display: inline !important;">
tutorial, we will explain how to apply makeup digitally using many of the same techniques that women use to apply physical makeup to their own faces. Let’s get </div>
</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">s</span>tarted!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Some Things To Consider Before You Start</span></b><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #444444;">Retouch according to what best compliments your subject’s specific features.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444;">Make sure the colors are synonymous with the mood and aesthetic you’re shooting for.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444;">Decide what to add or subtract from preexisting makeup.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444;">Always improve the clarity and intensity of your work through layer adjustments.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 1</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Natural makeup is all about creating flawless looking skin. So make an assessment of your photo. In this particular case we have a stock photo of a woman with virtually no visible makeup on except for mascara. This photo is perfect because we won’t have to create false lashes later on. The main makeup concepts you’ll be learning today are concealing, contouring, and highlighting. Feel free to make literal or mental notes of which areas to correct.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Hhenho33OtirlFnso94bPxROGX5iEbug1bah86gWIMQGvO7DSRVs1sIGWe0K9vtJ67Yd3Q5-myogDsLYxz-Or1S8OAIMztb7yD0BDINA027ammG9zqrw7YpmKIP3sPMLo7iDOfMMEMVT/s1600/pic1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Hhenho33OtirlFnso94bPxROGX5iEbug1bah86gWIMQGvO7DSRVs1sIGWe0K9vtJ67Yd3Q5-myogDsLYxz-Or1S8OAIMztb7yD0BDINA027ammG9zqrw7YpmKIP3sPMLo7iDOfMMEMVT/s320/pic1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 2</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Duplicate the original photo layer and place into a group. This is where all the makeup changes will occur; you can flip back to the original photo at any time to compare the changes you’ve made. Next go to Filter > Liquify and begin adjusting the structure of your model’s face. Use the Forward Warp Tool to create a slimmer appearance by bringing in the sides of her cheek, forehead, and jaw line.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 3</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">We will continue using the Liquify option throughout this tutorial, so feel free to make adjustments to the facial structure until you’re satisfied. Currently the model’s expression seems a little down, so we can alter it by lifting crucial areas of her face such as the corners of her mouth, her eyebrows, and the corners of her </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">eyes. Now her expression is more pleasant. You can also quickly straighten her nose by pulling it to the right.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN-ybR5PZwbr2tiPNu1B1BHWXip1AYEmpsDRbci_3PujY44NxOhqCnJC_7hpUwo-gFrMstRisozXK9MRwZJ5yb4RfXN-Z8yWnkjWjCCW5g1I8U1mw414JVm82rqzDPJD8Asa4I0nupVhIR/s1600/pic3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN-ybR5PZwbr2tiPNu1B1BHWXip1AYEmpsDRbci_3PujY44NxOhqCnJC_7hpUwo-gFrMstRisozXK9MRwZJ5yb4RfXN-Z8yWnkjWjCCW5g1I8U1mw414JVm82rqzDPJD8Asa4I0nupVhIR/s320/pic3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 4</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Typically, people use the Bloat Tool to create fuller lips, but in excess it can lead to an unnatural bulge. For subjects with thinner lips, think about using the Forward Warp Tool instead to pull the lips into a more natural shape.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwNZIBYb5ifTn-utAqIAbfP2EhqfPZXr_X-QwZ6RQMZE0bzNF4FXDWHg-2jfwLroxCaRSuD0gNPHg6kF1yA46SUP8qA2xqGooye-5CV9sSI8stYGq2dwlSqyPtABzkkgXRJTB2d2vohYjG/s1600/pic4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwNZIBYb5ifTn-utAqIAbfP2EhqfPZXr_X-QwZ6RQMZE0bzNF4FXDWHg-2jfwLroxCaRSuD0gNPHg6kF1yA46SUP8qA2xqGooye-5CV9sSI8stYGq2dwlSqyPtABzkkgXRJTB2d2vohYjG/s320/pic4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 5</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Use the Clone Stamp Tool at a low opacity to softly erase spots, lighten dark circles, and lessen wrinkles by sourcing nearby areas. It’s almost like a regular brush, so using it correctly can create a subtle effect of soft, clear skin. This is similar to the purpose of liquid foundation which helps to even out skin tone. Use this </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">tool to soften the harshness of the lashes by sweeping a thin layer of color over them. You may also notice that we brought the photo back into Liquify to create the appearance of higher cheekbones.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3nRf_GsVZwnxtFZg7cuev_WbOlLRp0fBHCH1lcrVwIbP3lRPyf24_unVveHH02BqXqMfo7MxwMB0eHRpBeQwOVVodyeNaUHLqM9G0Z2wecm-HYZfivSy2RsbZmM8WkVzhuKcOCCRL21Rw/s1600/pic5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3nRf_GsVZwnxtFZg7cuev_WbOlLRp0fBHCH1lcrVwIbP3lRPyf24_unVveHH02BqXqMfo7MxwMB0eHRpBeQwOVVodyeNaUHLqM9G0Z2wecm-HYZfivSy2RsbZmM8WkVzhuKcOCCRL21Rw/s320/pic5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 6</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Filling out the eyebrows with a pencil or powder is usually an essential step that all girls remember. Eyebrows are so important because they frame the face and ultimately clean up our look. Using the Stamp Tool, carefully stamp along the shape of the eyebrows to create the base. Select the Brush Tool to finish them. First hit the Alt key to collect the color of the brow then use a hard, low opacity round brush to make realistic strokes of hair along the brow. Use the Eraser to clean them up. If one brow looks better than the other, use the Lasso Tool to select the better brow and copy and paste it onto a new layer. Go to Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal, then right-click and select Free Transform to position into place.</span><br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 7</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Select a pale area of skin with the Eyedropper. Use both the Brush and Stamp Tools to paint a soft pale color around the bridge of the nose and underneath the eyes at an angle all the way up to the top of the cheekbone. In real life this step would be considered “concealer.” It helps to brighten up the under eye area and mask any overlooked discoloration.</span><br />

<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 8</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Now let’s add a little color to our subject. Use the Eyedropper to select the brow color. With the brush mode set to Soft Light, sweep the color at a low opacity along the cheekbone. Do this under the chin to create more shadow, and along the temples of the forehead. Real life makeup artists apply this same technique in order to “contour” the face. Use the Burn Tool to darken the hair towards the scalp to create fuller looking hair. You’ll see that this is also the last time we bring the photo into Liquify in order to adjust the chin and left cheek.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Add a new layer. With the Brush Tool set back to Normal mode, paint the color <b>#e4bba7 </b>along the same areas you contoured using a soft, low opacity brush. Set the layer to Soft Light, and bring down the opacity to <b>48%</b>. This effect makes the model’s skin glow and her eyes pop with color.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Add another new layer to focus on the lip color or “lipstick”. Try to define the shape of her mouth with a hard round brush. For a soft lip finish, select the color of her top lip and fill it in using a low opacity brush to balance out the color. Do the same with the bottom lip. Avoid applying any kind of lip shine effect because it </span></div>

Add a last New Adjustment Layer for Color Balance and make the following adjustments to balance everything out. This last layer also helps to intensify the actual natural makeup look.</span></div>

<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 12</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Professional makeup artists have to exaggerate glamorous makeup so that it picks up well on camera. Keep in mind these techniques are similar to the ones we just did, but instead create more drama to the Hollywood level.Add a new layer for additional contouring. Like before, use the color of the brows to work from. Add more color to the cheeks, neck, and underneath the brow with a soft round brush. Nowadays, makeup artists also contour the nose to make it appear thinner. Add the same color along the side of the nose all the way up to the brow, then set the layer to Soft Light and bring down the opacity to around <b>70%</b>.</span></div>

<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 13</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Add a new layer and set it to Hard Light. With the same color from the brow, paint along the lid of the eyes. You can even wing it out slightly and apply a small beauty mark upon the cheek for a retro makeup look. Adjust the layer opacity until you’re satisfied, in this case it’s<b> 88%</b>.</span></div>

<div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 14</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Add another new layer for the lip color. We’re still going for a matte lipstick effect because it’s more suitable for this look and we’ll be adding shine in a different way in our next step. Set the layer to Soft Light and apply a thin layer of the color <b>#971f24</b> to the lips with a soft round brush. Bring down the opacity to <b>35%</b>.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 15</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Lastly, add another new layer for highlights. Highlights are often done with shimmery makeup and enhance areas by making them appear brighter, fuller, and higher. Using a bright color that’s almost white, gradually apply highlights to the brows, inner eye duct areas, upper cheek bones, and Cupid’s bow with a low opacity round brush. This effect is truly what transforms the look the most, from natural to glam.</span></div>

<div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 2</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Create a duplicate layer and put it into a group. To do this, press <b>Ctrl+J</b> to duplicate the layer then <b>Ctrl+G </b>to place the new layer into a group. Name the group "Airbrush" and the layer "Blur". To retouch the skin, there will be two layers in the Airbrush group. The first layer we’ve created (the Blur layer) will be used to blur the skin. After that, we’ll add another layer to restore the natural skin texture.</span></div>

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 3</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Have the Blur layer selected. To blur this layer, use the Surface Blur filter. This filter blurs like the Gaussian Blur filter except it can retain edge detail. We’ll need to blur the layer so that the skin is smoothed and somewhat blurry without having the edges</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Create a new layer and move it above the Blur layer. Name this layer "Texture" and change the blend mode to Hard Light. This layer, as the name states, will be used to add a slight texture to the skin and also adjust the skin tonality.</span></div>

<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #444444;">The Hue setting is usually correct. I increased it by 10 to add more yellow to it to make the appearance of the red areas less visible.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444;">The Saturation setting usually needs to be reduced greatly. Adjust this until the skin tone looks natural but not too pale.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444;">The Lightness setting requires slight modification. A slight change in the lightness will create big difference in how the skin blends in with the image. As you adjust the setting, you will see how sensitive this setting is. Even though it requires high precision, it is easy to tell when it is the correct setting. If it is off, it will look really off. If it is at the correct setting, it will look a lot more natural.</span></li>

<span style="color: #444444;">Here’s the final results after applying this airbrushing technique. In the image below, you can see how smooth the skin looks. Because the image below has been downsized to fit into this tutorial, it may look slightly plastic. However, when zoomed in, the texture is clearly visible.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;">This tutorial shows a couple of simple techniques you can use to enhance your portraits. I will focus on retouching the skin, the eyes, and the teeth (whitening). To follow this tutorial, you must already know some Photoshop basics: working with layers, making simple selections, and using basic tools.</span></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 2: cleaning the skin</span></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Cleaning the skin is usually done with a combination of the clone tool and the healing brush. The main difference between the two is that the healing brush preserves the texture of the skin better. The clone tool keeps the texture exactly only when used with a hard-edged brush, which is not something you want to do when retouching the skin. The healing brush doesn’t work all the time (especially in areas close to edges ), that’s why the best thing to do is to use the combination with the clone tool.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">When retouching skin, you want to keep as much of the texture as possible. Some beginners love to use the blur tool (or even a filter like Surface Blur) to smooth the skin, but this will only give it a plastic, artificial look. Also, when retouching areas like the shadows under the eyes, or wrinkles – don’t overdo it! It’s best to keep your retouching into a separate layer so you can adjust the opacity and find the most natural look.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">So, create a new layer (<b>Ctrl + Alt + Shift + N</b>) on top of your background and hit the J key for your healing brush tool (or S for the cloning tool). In the options bar at the top, make sure that the Sample option is set to Current & Below. Basically, use the healing brush to clear blemishes, freckles, imperfections on skin, and use the clone tool (at low opacity, I usually start around 25-30%) to lighten the areas under the eyes, to smooth wrinkles, to soften sharp shadow edges. In our case, the model’s skin is not too bad, so the retouching will be minimal.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Clean up the acne marks spot by spot, the freckles on her nose and the loose strands of hair with the healing brush. Then lighten up the shadows under the eyes with the clone tool, on a separate layer. I used a soft brush around <b>20 px</b> large, at <b>20%</b>. While at it, soften the line of the shadow under her chin. Then, on a separate layer, with the healing brush, try to bring back some of the texture of the skin. The advantage of having these retouchments on separate layers is that you can erase parts you don’t want and alter the opacity so you can get the most natural look. Here’s my result:</span></div>

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 3: brightening the eyes</span></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Bringing out the eyes will make the difference between a dull portrait and a one that captivates the viewer. Professional photographers use careful lighting to catch the vibrancy of the eyes, but you can use your retouching skills to enhance the glance of your subject.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">In our portrait here, the model’s eyes are pretty much shaded and in desperate need for some brightness. However, keep in mind that, again, moderation is key: do not whiten too much the white of the eyes because it will look unnatural!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Let’s start by selecting each eye from the original picture. You can use the polygonal lasso, although I recommend for most selections the pen tool. If you use the pen tool, outline the shape of the eye and then load the shape as a selection and, while on the background layer, hit <b>CTRL + J </b>to copy the selection in a new layer. If you use the lasso, hit <b>CTRL + J</b> when you’re done (same effect as above). Do the same for each eye.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">(For the basic use of the pen tool for selections – without knowing Bezier curves – see a tutorial I wrote a while ago and posted on my fine art website: Cutting and blending techniques.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">We will use these layers to adjust the white of the eyes. But before that, let’s select the pupils and paste the on their own layers (on top of the eyes layers). You can select them from the original layer or from the new eyes layers. Don’t forget to label your layers accordingly and to organize them in groups!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Now, for each of the eyes layer, go <b>Image > Adjustments > Brightness </b>& Contrast and set the Brightness to +20. You may notice now some red specks on the whites, which you can clone out with the clone tool.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Now, select the pupils’ layers and repeat the Brightness & Contrast adjustment, but this time with much higher parameters (brightness 90/ contrast 60, or just experiment until you like the result).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">The eyes have improved a lot, but we got some red artifacts is the pupils, which we can get rid of easily. Select the layer of the left pupil and hit <b>Ctrl + U</b> to bring up the Hue/Saturation dialog. From the Edit drop-down choose Reds and use the following settings:<b> Hue: +15, Saturation: -32, Lightness: 0.</b> This way, we shifted the reds towards a green hue. Hit Enter to apply the settings. Then, select the other pupil’s layer and hit <b>Ctrl + Alt + U</b>. This combination will bring up the Hue/Saturation dialog with the settings last used already filled in, so you can just hit Enter and you’re done!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">(Tip: use the Alt key in combination with other shortcuts for Adjustments or even for Filters, to start with the settings last used instead of the default settings).</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">There are more enhancements that can be done to the eyes (like painting in catch lights and shadows), but for now we’ll stop here and move on to the next step.</span></div>

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Step 4: whitening the teeth</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Unless you’ve just come from a whitening session at your dentist, anyone could use some post-processing teeth whitening. There is an easy way to give this girl a brighter smile: select the teeth and paste them into their own layer. I useed, as usual, the pen tool (but you can use the polygonal lasso if you wish).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Once you have the teeth in their own layer, hit <b>Ctrl + U</b> just like before and select to edit the Yellows this time. You don’t want to reduce the Saturation (it will only make them look grey), but to increase the Lightness (+45). Since they still look too dark, select the Reds in the Edit dropdown and increase the Lightness to +30. Be careful not to make them look grey! Hit Ok and then go to <b>Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast</b> and up the Brightness to +12. Then hit S to grab your clone tool and clone out the too bright spots (zoom in closely).</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444;">There’s much more that you could do to improve this portrait, but it extends beyond the scope of this tutorial. For instance, her skin appears too dark on the lower half of the photo. Then, I would get rid of the shadow on the wall that you can see along her arms. In fact, a completely new background would be even better. The hot spot on her shirt could be fixed by cloning fabric from the other side. The scarf could use a more saturated red. And so on… We’re a long way from a magazine cover, but also a long way from the initial shot.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">In this tutorial, I’ll show you several quick and easy techniques for retouching portraits using Adobe Photoshop.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">There are entire books written on retouching portraits—many books in fact. This tutorial does not aim to substitute all that information. Rather than spending a lot of time on many individual steps in retouching photos, this tutorial aims to provide a quick overview of several techniques.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">We’ll be working with this photograph:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV8V_u-ymzDcjdD1Y5rl69r1O_l9E_-eejqYIchfSKxSGn0lQyOeH1Mng0Ch0XZWDjBsttJ6Ocui9BaO_D1Cc_jNCNs9P4TBwJAagRvvZFaPinR2bogsRa23MI1zEyFjj_rW8WeVZPogCX/s1600/original-large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV8V_u-ymzDcjdD1Y5rl69r1O_l9E_-eejqYIchfSKxSGn0lQyOeH1Mng0Ch0XZWDjBsttJ6Ocui9BaO_D1Cc_jNCNs9P4TBwJAagRvvZFaPinR2bogsRa23MI1zEyFjj_rW8WeVZPogCX/s320/original-large.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444;">We won’t focus on theory so much as applying different tools from here on out.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="color: #444444;">For the most efficient workflow, it may be worth your while to get in the habit of arranging your workspace. Photoshop has many palettes, but we are only going to use the toolbar palette, Layers and the history palette.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">You can save your workspace as a preset for quick editing in future jobs.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #444444;">History log</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Go to <b>Edit->Preferences-> Performance </b>and set the history states to 50.This will give you more flexibility as you can go back and see your progress and/or improve any of the techniques you have used.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">If you find Photoshop running much slower, revert to your default setting.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #444444;">Molding Features with Liquify</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">The Liquify tools are incredibly useful in molding features without destroying too much information. Watch how I apply it do several areas of the model below:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib_q-2-vKj7lAc8An3053ONOFjSQc8Ds1Ab-yqr8i2LWoPvPuyedR7x359B20zj4x2OOu6fxrkBpEHaFkpDqVMxgQvqJNwijLxy3O7vjF0DdbLvKOiVMlms7FLREsDNQf5xy2Amf-K52ww/s1600/pic2liquify.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib_q-2-vKj7lAc8An3053ONOFjSQc8Ds1Ab-yqr8i2LWoPvPuyedR7x359B20zj4x2OOu6fxrkBpEHaFkpDqVMxgQvqJNwijLxy3O7vjF0DdbLvKOiVMlms7FLREsDNQf5xy2Amf-K52ww/s320/pic2liquify.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">First I open the Liquify panel ( <b>Filter->Liquify</b> ), choose the <b>Forward Warp Tool </b>and use it to push the jaw a bit inward. I repeat this process with the neck. For areas of the models face I want to enlarge, I can use the <b>bloat tool </b>and if I want to reduce the size of something, I can use the <b>pucker tool</b>.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVyRHtNyFpSotyY3CCjGqVK9za_y6EMjKqs0hlrt00BJu5BH8aR_v7m0pW8oxQgfdKHaz-Ibj0yej6pWgm8R3nZwknMhytAG2ucO-61k5X9D0DvMc5gW7Lw7_DGP2aYFYHTUyE0QCC3axE/s1600/pic3liquify2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVyRHtNyFpSotyY3CCjGqVK9za_y6EMjKqs0hlrt00BJu5BH8aR_v7m0pW8oxQgfdKHaz-Ibj0yej6pWgm8R3nZwknMhytAG2ucO-61k5X9D0DvMc5gW7Lw7_DGP2aYFYHTUyE0QCC3axE/s1600/pic3liquify2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">These are the settings I’ve used for the Forward Warp Tool. The brush size can vary of course depending on the region you want to modify.For the jaw region I’ve used a brush size of 238 and for the lips somewhere around 130.However,don’t take these values for granted.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">Each photo, and each part of a photo will need careful consideration in tool settings. Since this is a larger photo, we use larger brush sizes.</span><br />

<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #444444;">There are many ways to clean skin in Photoshop. Here is a super easy way using the Clone Stamp Tool.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Zoom in to a level where you are comfortable and you can see the details. Now look for a region of skin with a similar color range to the one you want to fix. Usually I choose an area which is close to the part I want to fix ( fig2 ) . Choose the <b>Clone Stamp tool </b>and select the <b>source region</b> (hold alt to select it ) and set the <b>opacity </b>to somewhere around 30%. The key is to use low opacity values but many , many strokes rather than few strokes and a high opacity value. By using this technique , you will preserve the details and not wash out the skin.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">I have used the <b>Clone Stamp tool </b>to get rid of the wrinkles , especially those near the corner of the lips and the ones around the bottom part of the eyes. Be careful not to overuse the <b>Clone Stamp</b> tool or else you will lose the skin texture and create flat planes on your face. Fake looking skin is a common error in the practice of retouching photos.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Tip: create snapshots to keep track of your progress and also zoom out often to have an overview of what you have done so far.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">The Dodge and Burn tools are useful in emphasizing the eyes and lips in a portrait. I Select the<b> Dodge tool</b>, set the exposure to<b> 12%</b> and “dodge” the areas indicated in <b>Fig4</b>. This will lighten the colors. To create contrast ( thus we’ll create emphasis on the eyes) we need to use the <b>Burn tool</b> with an exposure of <b>12%. </b>"Burn" the pupil, the outer part of the iris, the eyelashes and the area under the eyebrows.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Sometimes, you may wish to add just a bit more contrast to your portrait shot. This can be done very quickly with Levels.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">I have to say, if you know a bit of Layer Styles and the Brush engine in Photoshop you will be able to create amazing effects. It will depend exclusively on your imagination and playing with the tool. Sometimes just changing a some settings and you get a totally different effect.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Today’s designers and photographers need to have a varied skill set that sets them apart from the pack. One common skill that both can use is portrait photography retouching. This tutorial will make you a more effective retoucher and help keep your portraits looking clean and realistic. Subtlety is – going too far will only make the results noticeable. The best comment you can get after presenting a final image is "I didn’t even notice you did that". Let’s get started!</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 1</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Step 1 does not involve using a tool at all. Before you start retouching an image, you should open and evaluate the image and come up with a mental roadmap of what need be done. I’ve illustrated the steps necessary to retouch this portrait below.</span></div>
<div>
<b>The areas to retouch are: </b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>1.</b> Age spots, skin blemishes and other skin issues;</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>2.</b> Forehead wrinkles; </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>3.</b> Laugh lines and deep wrinkles; </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>4.</b> Bags under eyes and crows feet; </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>5.</b> Thinning eyebrows; </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>6.</b> Stained teeth</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZGfP8-ltMvEzUxEdPsUqvex4qgSqjg672tA7oTaoHkfK5MF8XxqOmXMR-fk14jrijaTfImi6UmPgtUTOUDRpq_yBMdMkRnacVJGcUxY503Xy-xQeeIBFRrS8MUrhUp1K8tgheepc93exW/s1600/pic1map.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZGfP8-ltMvEzUxEdPsUqvex4qgSqjg672tA7oTaoHkfK5MF8XxqOmXMR-fk14jrijaTfImi6UmPgtUTOUDRpq_yBMdMkRnacVJGcUxY503Xy-xQeeIBFRrS8MUrhUp1K8tgheepc93exW/s320/pic1map.jpg" width="253" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 2</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">First, we need to work non-destructively. Duplicate the layer in the Layers Panel, by either dragging the background layer to the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layer Panel, or by using the keyboard shortcut Command/<b>Ctrl + J </b>to duplicate the Layer Via Copy. This will give us "Layer 1". Double click the layer name and rename "Retouched". This will be the layer we will do all our retouching on, leaving the Background untouched.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 3</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The first tool we will be using is the Spot Healing Tool shown in the Tool Bar below or with the tool shortcut "<b>J</b>".</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ8H9ghWhu0YbbEv_v_sVk0lzZLHqT_vLyI8ditR48r78pc5N9sOmwEO9kO_qBTtTMSQvJdCJcZhRBi9BUDgPkxG5ZvLmMhaOkSZfFFN1E9XPfhFOal2fG07hOnJOKKyeyZxh22yOGyieE/s1600/pic3SpotTool.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ8H9ghWhu0YbbEv_v_sVk0lzZLHqT_vLyI8ditR48r78pc5N9sOmwEO9kO_qBTtTMSQvJdCJcZhRBi9BUDgPkxG5ZvLmMhaOkSZfFFN1E9XPfhFOal2fG07hOnJOKKyeyZxh22yOGyieE/s320/pic3SpotTool.jpg" width="51" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The Spot Tool utilizes local texture and tone to blend over flawed areas in your image. There are several settings in the Options Bar at the top of your window. There are only two that we are going to need to focus on however. The first is the Brush Picker (1) and the Type (2).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">First, Access the Brush Picker via the drop down arrow on the right side of the button. The only control we need to adjust in this window is the Hardness, which we will set it to 50%. 50% will blend the tool with the existing image better than 100%, which looks like a paper punch, but will not soften the brush too much. 0% will blend too much and diminish the effectiveness of the tool. Hit enter/return to exit the window – do not click off to the side to close the panel or you may accidentally affect your image. Next, make sure you are on "Proximity Match" for this portion of the tutorial. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">We are now ready to start retouching the image. The Spot Tool is a brush-based tool and only needs to be slightly larger that the small flaws we are repairing. To adjust the brush size, use your bracket keys to change the size. Left bracket [ makes the brush smaller and right bracket ] makes it larger. (You can also adjust the hardness by adding the Shift key, but we want to keep this at 50%). Center your brush over your flaw, click and release. It should cover the flaw and blend in flawlessly. If it does not, make sure that your brush is properly sized and that you are not overlapping another texture, like hair or darker skin tones, etc.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Repeat this step until all skin small blemishes are removed. If you have larger areas (the vein on the cheek) leave those for now, and concentrate on smaller spots, freckles, moles, etc. Remember to adjust the brush using the bracket keys as you go. Keep it small – if you increase your brush size tool large, the tool will fail by mixing too much information and you will end up with a mess. No worries, there are tools designed for larger areas.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCTrYC8q1Ox-j4xp8SlA2gEj7eFvRNfQxsMsZSI6cG9RTx3OsMlwMyTnUVlhq9UbaXTLkGKH1bcHYMuNfb1M6ynQzXtpT5vRAtVJtF367sBznrHlQr2aIwjQ99mIwdFqGnRh_EwMi00kOy/s1600/pic4step1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCTrYC8q1Ox-j4xp8SlA2gEj7eFvRNfQxsMsZSI6cG9RTx3OsMlwMyTnUVlhq9UbaXTLkGKH1bcHYMuNfb1M6ynQzXtpT5vRAtVJtF367sBznrHlQr2aIwjQ99mIwdFqGnRh_EwMi00kOy/s320/pic4step1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 4</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">After repairing the small spots, it’s time to move up to the larger flaws – forehead wrinkles, larger skin defects and laugh lines. To repair these areas, we will be using the Healing Brush Tool, which can be found under the Spot Healing Tool. Click and hold on the tool in the toolbar to access the additional healing tools. The Healing Brush tool repairs similar to the Spot Tool, but it splits the workload in two. Texture is now designated by the user (you) and tone is blended locally after you use the tool.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Once you select the tool, again access the Brush Picker in the Options Bar and make sure the Hardness is set to 50%. Make sure the "Align" option is checked to the right of the Options Bar. You can use the bracket key shortcut to change the size as needed.</span></div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">We will start with the forehead wrinkles. Move your brush to a clean area of skin texture – usually you can find this between the wrinkles. We want to make sure that we have enough room to move and not run into other textures, like his hair or other wrinkles.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Hold down your Opt (Mac)/Alt (PC) key and click once to designate the texture source. Then take your tool and align the brush over the beginning of the wrinkle. Change your brush size to a size slightly wider the wrinkle. Click and hold, then brush across the flaw. Notice that your source icon is following your every move, offset based on your source. Try to paint in one mouse-click if possible, but if you notice that your source is getting close to another texture, you can release. When you release, the tool blends the tone locally making the new texture blend in with the existing surroundings. The "Align" feature will keep your source offset exactly where you designated it, until you choose another source. With each flaw, you should Opt/Alt-Click another source area and then paint over the flaw.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">For the laugh lines, align the source slightly above the flaw and offset enough that you can paint over the entire wrinkle in one motion. Cover the initial wrinkle first, then blend the tone with additional strokes. Always be aware of your surroundings. If you get too large of a brush, you could accidentally blend in the lighter color of the mustache or other areas. Adjust your size as needed.</span></div>

Flaws are usually are so close to the eye and other areas (eyelashes, eyebrows, etc.) that using the Healing Brush is almost impossible given the size constraints. This is where the Patch Tool comes in. The third healing tool of the group, the Patch Tool is not brush based at all- it is selection based. Choose the Patch Tool under the Healing Brush Tool in the Tool Bar.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">The only setting we have to check on this tool is that it is set to "Source" in the Options Bar.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Start by using the Patch tool to make a selection around the bag under the right eye. I like to dissect the eye wrinkles into sections. This gives me a more effective result than trying to select around the entire eye at one time.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Next click and drag the selection to a clean area of skin texture, like the forehead, and release. The new texture blends with the local tone and the wrinkle is gone. Repeat around the eye, selecting sections (left, right, top, bottom) individually and dragging the selection to a clean texture source.</span></div>

<div>
<b>Step 6</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">After you have the eyes completed, this is what the finished "Retouched" layer should look like:</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwv-H5jkJwcX_B9EBqzcGKNjyQcZ44XngCLGfYFkDWXUBbAkQt-1PjGxPxVMg3VTUEW0Uk4tdRcVvXNpjYW7NC1b0dGRpz2PzeR1TCG7wjAm3zUrvCeXR4jpKX_INtJ0f3GtsG4LFBlUvQ/s1600/pic11Retouchedcomplete.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwv-H5jkJwcX_B9EBqzcGKNjyQcZ44XngCLGfYFkDWXUBbAkQt-1PjGxPxVMg3VTUEW0Uk4tdRcVvXNpjYW7NC1b0dGRpz2PzeR1TCG7wjAm3zUrvCeXR4jpKX_INtJ0f3GtsG4LFBlUvQ/s320/pic11Retouchedcomplete.jpg" width="253" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">But as you can see, this looks completely unrealistic. The trick is to use a Layer Mask to blend the original image back into the retouched layer.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Start by clicking the Layer Mask button at the bottom of the Layers Panel. This will give you a Layer Mask on the Retouched Layer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihRhhj8zBe9ZiWjH3JcWuWad43c12j7lfGnp3p83y4c1zzR6Pb_rFzB3zbAEWqmId_HtJk-oTV7qjjyWTjC2RtO3zhjqU4RSPzEK9rzTWrBKbNUF4JSCt-BAqJRtH3pAYTjw1Oq2FMx6M0/s1600/pic12layermask.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihRhhj8zBe9ZiWjH3JcWuWad43c12j7lfGnp3p83y4c1zzR6Pb_rFzB3zbAEWqmId_HtJk-oTV7qjjyWTjC2RtO3zhjqU4RSPzEK9rzTWrBKbNUF4JSCt-BAqJRtH3pAYTjw1Oq2FMx6M0/s1600/pic12layermask.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Then, using the Eraser tool we will blend back in some of the flaws from the original image. Set your background color to Black (or hit "D" for default colors) and change your Eraser opacity to 33%. Make sure you are using a soft-edged brush (at least 50% Hardness).</span></div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Start by erasing over the laugh lines in one stroke. Choose a brush size that will encompass the flawed area. This will slowly bring back the flaw. I like to go over the entire wrinkle once, then on the second pass starting at the nose, I go halfway down the wrinkle giving it 66% coverage. Lastly I go right next to the nose on another pass making it 99%. This technique fades the wrinkle away as it moves further away from the nose. Repeat on the other side.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">For the eyes, I use the same technique, but start at the corner of the eye closest to the nose and blend away from the nose. Remember to build slowly back into the area, we do not want to bring the entire flaw back at 100%. For the crows feet, I only went with one pass since they were so defined.</span></div>

<b>Step 7</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">After blending the face, I noticed that his eyebrows were pretty thin and I wanted to add some more definition back into that area. We can do this using a new process in Photoshop CS5 – Puppet Warp. First, make a selection around his beard using the lasso tool like so:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Explosions are cool. Seriously cool. So when I received some e-mails asking about how to create a break-apart, explosion effect, I knew it’d be worth making a tutorial </span><span style="color: #444444;">on. Read on to find out how to break apart a body, then add some awesome lighting and glow, and nopattern style, to finish the image off.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<b>Step 1</b><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Create a new document, any size. I used 800x600px. Fill the background layer with black. After that, place your photo in the center of the document.</span><br />
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444;"></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Step 2</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Select the Polygonal Lasso Tool (L) and select the girl. When you complete the selection process, go to <b>Select > Refine Edge</b>. A dialog box will open with some </span><span style="color: #444444;">settings. Select to preview the image on black, and make some adjustments until you find a nice result. Add a bit of feather, radius, and expand the selection. Then </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">press OK.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
</span><br />
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 3</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Invert the selection, <b>Select > Inverse</b> and delete the background of the photo. After that, go to <b>Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen and the Filter > Noise > Add Noise</b>. Set 2% for the noise amount.</span></div>

<div>
<b>Step 4 - Breaking Apart</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">With the Lasso Tool (L), select the girl’s leg like I did, then go to <b>Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All</b>. After that, select the Paint Bucket Tool (G) and fill the selection with black. Make sure that you paint the selection.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 5</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Here we will need some brushes. You can find good brushes at brusheezy.com. I used a set of brushes called Blood-grunge.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Select the Brush Tool (B) and white for the color. Pick one of the brushes. I used the first one of the set and reduce its size to 300 or less. After that, start painting the hidden leg. You will need just a few clicks with the brush tool to get a good result.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 6</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The previous step broke apart the leg, but the shatters didn’t spread like a real explosion. So in order to do that, we will use the Clone Stamp Tool (S).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Create a new layer above the girl’s layer and select the Clone Stamp Tool. Choose Current & Below in the Sample settings. If you have never used the Clone Tool before, </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">the first thing to do is define a source point. To do that hold the Alt key and select the source point. After that, start cloning some parts of the exploded leg to spread the shatters. The last thing here is go to <b>Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 7</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Repeat the Steps 4, 5, and 6, but select the arm this time to break apart.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<b>Step 8 — Clouds</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Add a new layer on top of the others. Select white for the foreground color and black for the background. Then go to <b>Filters > Render > Clouds</b>. Now select the Lasso Tool. Set the feather to 20px, and select an area around the girl. You will have a selection like the image below. After that, just go to<b> Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal Selection.</b></span></div>

<div>
<b>Step 9</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Double-click on the clouds layer to open the Layer Styles dialog box. The first thing to do here is use Screen for the Blend Mode and use 28% for the Fill Opacity. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Then select Gradient Overlay. The Blend Mode will be Color Dodge this time with 55% Opacity. Use the same colors as the image below.</span></div>

<b> Step 10 — Lighting Effects</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">I used some brushes to create the light effects. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Create a new folder above all the other layers, rename it to “lights” and change the Blend Mode to Color Dodge. Then select white for the color and the Brush Tool. Test some brushes to see the result. Create a layer for each effect.</span></div>
</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 11</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Create a new layer inside the “lights” folder. Select the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M), making sure the Feather is 0px. Create a rectangular selection. Then select the Gradient Tool (G). For the colors, use white for both start and end, but change the end’s opacity to 0. Then just fill the rectangle with the gradient like in the </span><span style="color: #444444;">image below.</span></div>

<b>Step 14 — Illustrator</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">In Illustrator select the Pen Tool (P) and create two curved lines To do that, hold the button every time you click to create a curved point. Use 0.5pt for the stroke weight. After that, select the Blend Tool (W) and click over one line and then on the other. To change the blend properties, just double-click on the Blend Icon. Choose Specific Steps for the Spacing and use like 50 steps. Copy the blend.</span></div>

<div>
<b>Step 15</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Back to Photoshop, paste the blend over the girl. After that, select the girl’s body. To do that, just click over the girl’s icon on the layer palette holding Cmd (mac) or Ctrl (PC), which will select only the girl’s body. Then go to <b>Layer > Layer Mask > Hide Selection</b>. That will hide the parts of the blend that are in front of </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">the girl.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Open the Layer Style dialog box, change the Fill Opacity to 0 and select Gradient Overlay. Use 20% for the Opacity and use the rainbow colors, like in the image below.</span></div>

<b>Conclusion</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">There are lots of different ways to do the break-apart effect. I chose the one that was, in my opinion the fastest and easiest one. You can see that I spent more time creating the lighting effects than doing the break apart effect.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Construction icons have always been popular on-screen, and although those dot-com “under-construction” pages have mostly vanished from our screens, the trusty ol’ yellow helmet icon still has its uses. In this tutorial, we’ll be creating our very own icon from a photograph.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Step 1</b><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">As a base, we will use this photograph I took. It’s not the greatest photo, but we can use it to define the basic shapes. The advantage of this photo is the fact that it was taken with wide-lens camera, and the perspective is nicely visible. When we talk about icons, perspective is very often VERY excessive, so this is perfect.</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTf65k38DH2ilJ85AFoR2V5RFcbVjazFVxZhw1OYPCm0Sio48zjJ5GxZxS-2X5wH1ayprkpjHsUaLoqElOskNwKf1PtyaI_Y5vlgGRhveB1hZU0s8AIf8VavC9gw5ebz9URN1Rskb8gI2Y/s1600/pic1icon_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTf65k38DH2ilJ85AFoR2V5RFcbVjazFVxZhw1OYPCm0Sio48zjJ5GxZxS-2X5wH1ayprkpjHsUaLoqElOskNwKf1PtyaI_Y5vlgGRhveB1hZU0s8AIf8VavC9gw5ebz9URN1Rskb8gI2Y/s320/pic1icon_01.jpg" width="297" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 2</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">So firstly, cut the helmet out of its background. You can do this using the Pen Tool, or your favorite way of extracting images. Then copy this photo into a new Photoshop document and resize the image to fit the icons dimension — probably <b>128×128</b> px. You can use, for example, a new layer sized <b>128×128</b>, which will help you to be more accurate. Or you can, of course, use document sized <b>128×128</b> px, but I like to have more space for drawing.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 3</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Select the Pen Tool and step-by-step trace each part of the helmet. We begin with the visor area. Don´t worry about the color, it’s the shape that’s important. For better accuracy, it’s good to decrease the layer´s visibility (Opacity). Simply press the numlock key corresponding to the percentage opacity you want &mdash for example, 5 for 50% Opacity. When tracing, be sure to draw as a Shape Layer (first icon on the Options bar), so you can modify this layer in the future.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Note that because we’re just tracing the visor, it doesn’t matter that the rest isn’t accurate around the helmet shape (we’ll do that in the next steps).</span></div>

<b>Step 10</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">To start, hide all layers except the first one (1) and fill this layer with yellow color <b>(#FFDF14)</b>. Then create new layer (<b>Ctrl + Shift + Alt + N</b>), and group it with </span><span style="color: #444444;">previous (<b>Ctrl + Alt + G</b>). On this screenshot, it´s layer (2). Into this layer, draw with big soft brush with darker color (<b>#D59D00</b>) so the layer will be darker on </span><span style="color: #444444;">the right side. Next, load the selection of layer (4), invert the selection (<b>Ctrl + Shift + I</b>), create new layer (3) and again use big soft brush to draw a shadow on </span><span style="color: #444444;">the right side ( <b>#3B1C02</b>).</span></div>

<div>
<b>Step 11</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">So that you don´t have to do it all again for layer (4), show this layer with decreased opacity to 50%. This way, you can still see the shadow from the previous layer </span><span style="color: #444444;">— how easy. For now, the "peak" is done and you can continue with the main part of the helmet.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">So, unhide the shape of main part and recolor it to the yellow (<b>#FDDB13</b>).

<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">For a better result, you can use the middle streak. Unhide this layer, recolor it to the dark yellow (<b>#AA6F00</b>), and add a layer mask. Into this mask, draw in the </span><span style="color: #444444;">middle with a big soft black brush (as shown below), and the layer will be visible only on the sides, not in the middle.</span></div>

In this tutorial, we will be retouching a particularly difficult shot in which the subject has no makeup or dramatic lighting to emphasize the shot. Using Photoshop, you will be able to add makeup, repair flaws, and add some drama to this shot. Let’s get started!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><b><i>Step 1 – Selections</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The first thing I want to do is remove the model from her background. Using Photoshop CS5 newly enhanced Refine Edge controls, this should be a snap. First make a selection using the Quick Select Tool. Be sure to have the "Auto-Enhance" feature checked in the Options Bar before you begin. This tool is brush based, so you can adjust the size as needed, but be sure to stay INSIDE your subject. Do not overlap the brush into the background or the next step will not be as effective.</span><br />

After you have completed the initial selection, click the Refine Edge button in your Options Bar (or right-click on your selection to pull up the menu). First, scrollthrough the View pull down menu at the top and choose a view that works for your shot (I chose the Black background). Then go to the Edge Detection portion of the dialog box and check "Smart Radius". Slide the Radius control about 1/2 way up the slide value and review your image (below is a before/after shot).</div>

If necessary, you can also use the Refine Radius brush tool to overlay the edges of the hair to bring out even more detail. If you notice that the Refine Edge commands are eating away at parts of the model (shoulders, clothes, etc) click and hold down on the Refine Radius Brush to reveal an eraser tool (Erase Refinements Tool) that can erase the results. You can also lower the Radius slider value to pull back the details if needed.<br />
After you have an adequate selection, go to the Output module and choose to have your image output to a New Layer with Layer Mask. This will preserve the original image and give you a new, masked layer to work with.<br />

First off is any skin blemishes. Using the Spot Healing tool, we can quickly repair any acne, scars, dark spots, etc. from the skin. Use this tool ONLY for theblemishes as we will use other tools later on for other areas. This is an important first step as it will give us clean resources to utilize later on with the eyes, <span style="font-style: italic;">hot spots, etc.</span><br />

<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">To get into these tight spaces, we will be using the Patch Tool (found under the Spot Tool button). Make a selection around the bottom of the eye and then drag the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">center of the completed selection into the cheek below the eye. Clean up any stray eyelashes using the Clone Stamp tool. We do want to remove the lashes on this model </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">because they are so thin. If you feel your particular model has good eyelashes, feel free to leave them in. Above you can see the results on the right side.</span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br />
<div style="display: inline !important;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Add a layer mask to the retouched layer. Erase under the eyes with a </span><b style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">30% </b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">opacity eraser to bring some contours back to the eyes. Be careful, erasing too much will </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">remove all the retouching results.</span></div>

Finally we are going to adjust the hair and add some pop. Start by making a selection of the existing hair. Create a new blank layer and fill with a brown color. Againthis is going to look odd before it gets better, but trust me it does get better.<br />

Finally, Adjust the eyes using a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. First, make a selection of one eye using the elliptical marquee tool. Then add the Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer. Adjust the one eye to your liking. Then using your paintbrush tool (set to Black 100% opacity) paint in the other eye on the Adjustment Layer’s mask.<br />

<span style="color: #444444;">Before we begin with the actual tutorial, I would like to show you my layer structure. For me, this setup works great. With this setup, I can navigate quickly through my layers and cut down on my work time. All of the layers will be discussed in the tutorial, so don’t worry if the scheme confuses you at the moment.</span><br />

<b>Step 1</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="color: #444444;">We begin by duplicating the original layer, and with a combination of the Clone Stamp (S) Tool and the Healing Brush (J) Tool, try to remove all spots and blotches that we can find. In essence, we smooth out the skin this way and prepare it for the brushing. It is very important to use a soft brush when working like this, so that the end result blends better with the surrounding skin. If an area is hard to tackle, use the Clone Stamp Tool first and then blend the treated area with the healing brush.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Step 2</b><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Symmetry is naturally attractive to human beings, and there are certain ‘lines’ that run across the face that when these are symmetrical, the subject seems to be more attractive to the eye. So let’s give our subject a little plastic surgery. Duplicate the layer, and using the Forward Warp Tool found in the liquefy gallery (Filter > Liquefy… or Shift+Ctrl+X), raise the area around the eyebrow just a little.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<b> Step 3</b><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Right now, we’ve come to the point where we can fiddle a bit with contrast, enhancing it further as we go. Let’s use a modification of a well-known technique called the ‘Angel face’ technique…at least, that is what I always call it. Again, duplicate your layer and then go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and give this layer about a 8-10px blur. After this we set this layer to ‘Soft Light’. Since we do not want this effect to be visible everywhere, I added a Layer Mask and filled that with black, concealing the effect. Then I took a big white, soft, round brush set to around 30-50% Opacity and started brushing around the nose, cheeks, eyes, and hair to enhance their color. This effect can do miracles for blond hair since it can transform it from a dull yellow-ish color to a vibrant gold color.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 4</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Now we’re going to focus on the actual airbrushing. This is a delicate process that requires a certain amount of patience and experience. Depending on your wishes or your client’s wishes you will have to decide how much airbrushing you want to apply. For instance, models in magazines and especially adult magazines are usually heavily airbrushed since they have to look ‘perfect’. On the other hand there are cases where you might just want to tweak the face by removing a few wrinkles or smoothing out the skin in a few places. For this reason, when I do the airbrushing, I generally do it over a few layers which gives me the option to switch layers on and off depending on how much texture I want to preserve in the end. On this image, I did the major airbrushing in two layers and merged them afterwards.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The trick is to use a low opacity (between 10 and 20 percent) soft brush. The color we pick comes from the image itself. When we pick the color, set the sample size of the Eyedropper Tool (I) to 51 by 51 pixels. If I remember correctly, this feature has only been available since CS2, so if you are using a version before that you will sample the color from a single pixel. Try to select an area where the skin is more or less smooth or set a flesh tone manually. Brush over an area multiple times and watch it become smoother.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The change is significant, especially around the nose area, and it is even more noticeable when the image is viewed on a much larger scale.</span></div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 5</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">After the airbrushing, let’s tweak the lips and the eyes. The lips have been slightly saturated using the same technique as in step 4, just pick a color from the lips instead. Then make a selection around the eyes and use ‘Layer via Copy’ (Ctrl+J), which can be found under Layer > New > Layer via Copy, to copy the selected part onto a new layer. Make sure this layer is on top at the moment. On the new layer, use the Dodge Tool with the settings shown below to lighten the iris.</span></div>

<b>Step 6</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">This is the final step before we apply our adjustment layers and bring this piece to life. In this step, we’re going to focus on the eyes a bit more, since these are very important in any portrait photograph.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">1. Using a low opacity (15-20 percent) black brush, we enhance the make-up around the eyes. Don’t worry if the change seems small, it will pop as soon as we add those adjustment layers.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">2. With the same technique as used in step 4, get rid of those wrinkles around the eyes. Yes, we all have them or we are going to have them, and yes, we all seem to hate them.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">3. Finally, let’s desaturate the sclera (the white part of the eye). There are several ways to do this, but I believe that the easiest is simply to create a layer, select a white brush, and go around the white bit of the eye and set the mode of the layer to color. It’s quick, easy and gets the job done nicely.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 7</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Time for the grand finale. This is the part where we make our picture stand out using the adjustment layers shown below. The adjustment might seem tiny but they make that crucial difference:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The levels and curves layers add contrast to the image as a whole and enrich the colors.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The brightness/contrast adjustment layer makes the make-up around the eyes and the lips pop out. As you can see, there’s a mask applied to the layer. It is entirely black (therefore hiding the effect) except for the area around the eyes and the lips.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The lip hue/saturation adjustment layer adds a vibrant pink color to the lips. Again a mask is applied to limit the effect strictly to the inner area of the lips.</span></div>

<div>
<b>Conclusion</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Well there you go, a complete overhaul. Oh, and just in case there’s this voice in your head saying ‘Well, she looks too fake,’ send the image around to some friends and ask if they think that to. When you actually see the process take place, the person seems to look fake afterwards because you know what is wrong, but when you show the image to someone who doesn’t know it’s a Photoshopped image, you will get a completely different response. Download the PSD to see the larger image and you will appreciate the work even more (available via Plus Membership).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Have fun!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Today we are going to explore using Clipping Paths created in Photoshop within InDesign. The following tut will explain what format to export to and how to apply the Clipping Path using InDesign’s built in features. Additionally I will guide you to the tools needed for editing the Clipping Path and converting to a custom frame.</span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<b>Step 1</b><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">InDesign can use any graphic that has the ability to save a clipping path or alpha channel, for example a <b>TIFF</b> or <b>PSD</b>. I prefer to use<b> EPS</b> format as I have tried and tested it. The first task is to make sure that the graphic contains a clipping path by opening it in Photoshop. Open the Paths palette which can be found by going to <b>Window > Paths</b>, here you will be able to view a path if one has been created.Otherwise save your file as your preferred format.</span><br />

<div>
<b>Step 6</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The path should be selected and highlighted brown. Also the Direct Selection Tool should be active. With this tool you can adjust the path. Simply click on one of the points to adjust, or to activate the handles for adjusting curves.</span></div>

<b>Step 7</b></div>

<b>Conclusion</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">I recommend that you experiment with different images and paths within Photoshop and place them in InDesign. You will discover some images work perfectly and others rely on the extra capabilities that only Photoshop offers to achieve an accurate Clipping Path. Happy designing!</span></div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG5HlKDS3kp8LLTm5z7Ao8n4QpTDNhVKrc9F5L6xeoH5ZFpbl-mSbre7TABFaSbNCLxwV9Pl566SpI9N9f-HbRO916Uq9Vj0IKpJtrttiNR9zZv_3xdJi-n4kOwA1RGEhrucgidnrUYcue/s1600/pic1batch-size-ps-before-after-tm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG5HlKDS3kp8LLTm5z7Ao8n4QpTDNhVKrc9F5L6xeoH5ZFpbl-mSbre7TABFaSbNCLxwV9Pl566SpI9N9f-HbRO916Uq9Vj0IKpJtrttiNR9zZv_3xdJi-n4kOwA1RGEhrucgidnrUYcue/s320/pic1batch-size-ps-before-after-tm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">While it’s relatively easy to write an Action to resize a series of images in Photoshop, it’s easier still to get Photoshop to do all the work for you. Photoshop comes with an image processor script that will open, resize and save a series of images for you – very quickly.</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 1</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Choose <b>File > Scripts > Image Processor</b>. The image processor dialog shows a simple four-step process for resizing the images.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0IlsY7llijVx3GylIi-Wpdqi3NhLQvkEePZt3TyRwKqNpuanjB9uq043sz_MmIgQ9DSwEB4pDU2WfFaFewGPE5t00TzAUyHt61XX5u83aX4SKiFp4UuB55ZlMXs-2Fen8A15PNSp5G0zf/s1600/pic2batch-resize-photoshop-step1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0IlsY7llijVx3GylIi-Wpdqi3NhLQvkEePZt3TyRwKqNpuanjB9uq043sz_MmIgQ9DSwEB4pDU2WfFaFewGPE5t00TzAUyHt61XX5u83aX4SKiFp4UuB55ZlMXs-2Fen8A15PNSp5G0zf/s320/pic2batch-resize-photoshop-step1.jpg" width="257" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 2</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">In Step 1 of the dialog, select to either resize the images already open in Photoshop (if you have them open), or click <b>Select Folder </b>and select a folder of images to resize. Select Include all Subfolders to include all subfolders of the selected folder.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixmpkL3CGpMdI3wcF1yS4GedAFgckHO0hH1ESRb4XTackBTwT6D8vhBQvlcURs7oU4QcpplJb0E397KtnmapCm2kqYrHr57Uw_wOz8ksdt_wX5E0zDVs0fSBA_T8mf9JncCrnCvqxab01r/s1600/pic3batch-resize-photoshop-step2-tm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixmpkL3CGpMdI3wcF1yS4GedAFgckHO0hH1ESRb4XTackBTwT6D8vhBQvlcURs7oU4QcpplJb0E397KtnmapCm2kqYrHr57Uw_wOz8ksdt_wX5E0zDVs0fSBA_T8mf9JncCrnCvqxab01r/s320/pic3batch-resize-photoshop-step2-tm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 3</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">In Step 2 of the dialog select where to save the images. If you select Save in Same Location Photoshop creates a subfolder in which to save the images so you don’t have to worry about overwriting them. If a subfolder by the same name already exists with images with the same names in it, Photoshop saves to that folder but adds a sequential number to the file so you still won’t lose your files. Alternatively, you can select a different folder for the resized images.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA325DEWvMAXqH4gEIXgdHXVrV7QXIgcd0bLNFSqSVzaR_4EC3CuhuQpyOGaWxt-NlKUoqjs7M7fph_oQYfWi0_ahOVvKxMR6h6I6JAZJ1_maltak7XsqJdkpFie_fvIFaLZ-pAgBzEW34/s1600/pic4batch-resize-ps-step3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA325DEWvMAXqH4gEIXgdHXVrV7QXIgcd0bLNFSqSVzaR_4EC3CuhuQpyOGaWxt-NlKUoqjs7M7fph_oQYfWi0_ahOVvKxMR6h6I6JAZJ1_maltak7XsqJdkpFie_fvIFaLZ-pAgBzEW34/s320/pic4batch-resize-ps-step3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 4</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">In Step 3 of the dialog select the file type to save in. For the web Save as JPEG is the obvious choice. Set a Quality value in the range 0 to 12 where 12 is the highest quality and 0 the lowest. For better color on the web, select Convert profile to sRGB and ensure that Include ICC Profile at the foot of the dialog is checked so the profile will be saved with the image.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ4bHv2GRaKtph4jAp3bF9OTtGxnoLn-9NtExqswFXniM-jAwyJX-fiZFFj_R6D2d7T9XKkRt0VuhF_QQuUCeMAHRu_0udCCBPt9pstErFid_icCLhZKxBEGIEYu9yUYwrPmToSHF9d4fr/s1600/pic5batch-resize-ps-step4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ4bHv2GRaKtph4jAp3bF9OTtGxnoLn-9NtExqswFXniM-jAwyJX-fiZFFj_R6D2d7T9XKkRt0VuhF_QQuUCeMAHRu_0udCCBPt9pstErFid_icCLhZKxBEGIEYu9yUYwrPmToSHF9d4fr/s320/pic5batch-resize-ps-step4.jpg" width="305" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">To resize the images, select the Resize to Fit checkbox and then set the desired maximum width and height for the final image. For example, if you type 300 for the width and 300 for the height, the image will be resized so that the longest side of any image, whether it be in portrait or landscape orientation will be 300 pixels. The images are scaled in proportion so they won’t be skewed out of shape.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The Width and Height measurements do not have to be the same so you could, for example, specify a Width of 400 and a Height of 300 and no image will have a width greater than 400 or a height greater than 300.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 5</b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">If desired you can save in another format as well by selecting its checkbox so you can save the same image in different formats and at different sizes in the one process. You can also select to run an Action on the images, if desired.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">When you’re ready, click Run and the images will be automatically opened (if they are not already open), resized, saved and closed.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">To see your resized images, choose <b>File > Open</b> and navigate to the folder that you specified the images to be saved to. If you chose to save as <b>JPEG</b>, the images will be in a subfolder called JPEG, for PSD in a folder called <b>PSD</b> and so on.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">So whenever you need to resize a lot of images for uploading to the web, for example, the Photoshop Image Processor script makes the job almost painless.</span></div>

This tutorial will show you how to adjust a model's skin without losing skin structure and texture. I call this approach "High Pass + Low Pass Filtering." It splits the image into two layers:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>One layer holds the texture and fine details of the image (high frequencies)</li>
<li>One layer holds the tones of the skin and its color (low frequencies)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
Furthermore, we will apply noise reduction to create a clear frequencies layer.</div>

<b>Step 1</b></div>
<div>
My example is a close-up of a face. Your first job is to clean up the main problems like spots, bumps, and skin imperfections with the healing brush tool. This is a fairly easy job so I won't go into details here. We will see here how to reduce and adjust both the texture and tones of the skin. On this image, my goal will be to </div>
<div>
make the texture of the skin less obvious, as well as brightening the side of the mouth and the bottom of the eye.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 2</b></div>
<div>
Make a rectangular selection around the face and duplicate it twice (Layer->New-> Layer via Copy). You will end up with two layers: the topmost one will hold the texture, while the tones and softening is handled by the second one. I've renamed them for easier understanding. Select both of them and group them, and add a mask to the group with Layer->Layer Mask->Reveal all. Adding a mask is important as it will help you with hiding parts that shouldn't be affected by corrections, such as the eyes, the mouth, and the side of the face. To hide things, just paint on black over the mask. This will be typically done at the end. For the moment, just focus on the main corrections without looking at parts that shouldn't be affected, such as the eyes, hair, etc.</div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 3</b></div>
<div>
Hide the texture layer and select the retouching one. To create the low frequencies, you simply need to soften or blur the image. I suggest to pick up Filter -> Blur -> Surface blur. Use a radius of, say 7, and raise the threshold towards 11. This should blur the skin. If you own an older version of Photoshop, a Gaussian Blur will do it too, but color blending will occur on the edges.</div>

<div>
<b>Step 4</b></div>
<div>
Still on the retouching layer, pick up a soft brush with a low opacity (20% is fine - you can change this on the top bar). Now gently paint on top of your image to remove elements that you don't like. Use Alt + Click to pick up a color and then paint over the layer. Your result should be pleasing, even if it lacks texture. On my </div>
<div>
example, I've brightened the areas that I didn't like much on the original image.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 5</b></div>
<div>
Now activate and show the texture layer. Next item is to retrieve the details that have been lost. I will use the Noise Ninja plugin here. As with other noise-reduction plugins, Noise Ninja needs to estimate the noise in your image. This profiling is done on specific rectangles that should only contain noise and rather few </div>
<div>
color changes. I've cleaned up the rectangles that were automatically created by right-clicking on them and then just drew mine. As you can see, I've picked up an area with almost no changes in colors and luminosity. Now select the Filter tab. Your goal is to adjust the image so that some texture remains, but not too much. I would suggest to lower the contrast (I've picked up a value of 5) and apply no Unsharp Masking (USM) amount (value: 0). USM will try to enhance high frequencies, which is not something that I want. Just play around with these values. The ones I gave as a guideline should be a good start. Once you are satisfied, press OK and apply the filter.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 6</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We now have two layers: texture contains the softened skin but had some dark areas that were fixed on the retouching layer - unfortunately, loosing texture at the same time. How can we combine both? This is actually quite easy: on the texture layer, apply Filter -> Others -> High pass with a radius of roughly 8. This makes a gray image with only details available. Don't panic! This is normal. Now go to Image -> Adjustments -> Hue / Saturation and use a saturation of -100. This is necessary as some color artifacts are created by the High pass filter. Finally, in the Layers window, change the blending mode of the texture layer from Normal to Overlay. You will now successfully see your texture merged with the previous retouching. If your texture isn't strong enough, apply an Image -> Adjustments -> Brightness/Contrast on it and pump up the contrast a little more.</div>

This is it. Just paint in black on the mask of the group to remove areas that shouldn't be processed. Remember that masks are quite helpful. You can, for instance, add a mask to the texture layer for finer control, and paint in black on it to hide parts that are too textured.</div>

<br />
Cropping images is by far one of the most common, every day uses for Photoshop. It’s so common that Photoshop comes with a tool designed specifically for cropping photos, conveniently named the <b>Crop Tool</b>. One of the great things about the Crop Tool is that you can easily crop your photos to common photo sizes like 4×6, 5×7 or 8×10 simply by entering the width and height values into the Options Bar before dragging out your cropping border, or by selecting a preset crop size from the Preset picker.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
That may be great, but what if you don’t want to change the aspect ratio of the photo? What if you want to crop the image while keeping the width-to-height ratio the same as the original? And what if you’re not sure what the original aspect ratio actually is? You could open the Image Size dialog box to find out the width and height of the image and then do the math, but there’s an even easier way thanks to a rarely used but very useful command in Photoshop called <b>Transform Selection</b>, which is what we’re going to be looking at in this tutorial.<br />
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here’s the photo I’ll be working with. I want to crop the image more closely around the woman’s face and the flowers she’s holding, but I want the final result to maintain the same aspect ratio as the original:</div>

Let’s get started!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 1: Select The Entire Photo</b></div>
<div>
The first thing we need to do is select our entire photo. Go up to the <b>Select </b>menu at the top of the screen and choose All at the very top of the list, or use the keyboard shortcut <b>Ctrl+A </b>(Win) / <b>Command+A</b> (Mac). Either way selects the entire photo, and you’ll see a selection outline appear around the edges of the image in the document window:</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">A selection outline appears around the entire photo in the document window.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 2: Choose “Transform Selection” From The Select Menu</b></div>
<div>
With a selection outline now around the entire photo, go back up to the Select <b>menu</b> once again and this time choose <b>Transform Selection</b> near the bottom of the list:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<b>Step 3: Resize The Selection</b></div>
<div>
As its name implies, Photoshop’s Transform Selection command allows us to make changes to the selection outline itself without affecting anything inside of the selection. In this case, we want to resize the selection outline and make it smaller until it surrounds only the part of the photo that we want to keep, allowing us to </div>
<div>
crop away everything else. To resize the selection, hold down your <b>Shift </b>key, then click on any of the handles (the little squares) in the corners of the selection and drag the corner inward. Holding the Shift key down forces the width-to-height aspect ratio of the selection to remain the same as you drag, which is what allows us to maintain the same aspect ratio as the original photo.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can move the selection outline as well by clicking anywhere inside of the selection and dragging it to a new location. Just don’t click on that little target symbol in the center of the selection, otherwise you’ll move the target symbol, not the selection. Continue moving and resizing the selection as needed until it’s surrounding only the area you want to keep:</div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Hold Shift and drag any of the corner handles inward to resize the selection outline while keeping the aspect ratio the same.</span></span></div>

<div>
When you’re done, press<b> Enter</b> (Win) / <b>Return</b> (Mac) to accept the transformation.</div>

<div>
<b>Step 4: Crop The Image</b></div>
<div>
At this point, all that’s left to do is crop away the area outside of our selection! For that, we can use Photoshop’s <b>Crop </b>command. Go up to the <b>Image</b> menu at the top of the screen and choose <b>Crop</b>:</div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Go to Image > Crop.</span></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As soon as you select Crop, Photoshop goes ahead and crops away everything that falls outside of the selection, leaving us with a cropped version of the photo that maintains the exact same aspect ratio as the original:</div>

<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">In this tutorial, I'll show you, in simple, easy steps, one of my favorite techniques- one that I think looks incredible on almost any photo. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">Please note that this tutorial is designed for use with Photoshop CS2. While it may be possible to create a comparable effect in other programs... I would have no idea how to do so. :-P</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">Ok, so we'll start with this photo,</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Let's get started!</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 1. </b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Open the photo in Photoshop. Simple! :-)</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 2.</b> <span style="color: #444444;">Duplicate the layer by right clicking the words "Background" in the Layers Palette and clicking, "Duplicate Layer..." Then click</span> <b>"Ok"</b> <span style="color: #444444;">when the next dialog box appears.</span></div>
</div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 3. </b><span style="color: #444444;">Click the little black and white circle at the bottom of the Layers Palette. A box will pop up. Click on</span><b> "Channel Mixer."</b> <span style="color: #444444;">This adds an adjustment layer to your copied layer, which will allow you to change some settings on it.</span></div>

<div>
<div>
<b>Step 4. </b><span style="color: #444444;">In the box that popped up, click on the check box that says<b> "Monochrome." </b>The other settings will vary, but generally you will want to turn the Green up, and the Blue and Constant down. You can see the settings I used here:</span></div>

<b>Step 9.</b> Now, we want to make it so that the blurry layer is somewhat transparent, so that it adds a dreamy feel to the rest of our photo. In the Layer Pallete, select the blurry layer, probably named "Background Copy 2" if you didn't change its name, and then click <b>"Opacity."</b> A slider will appear; the effect works best with this setting set between 30% and 60%, but every photo is different.

<span style="color: #444444;">Notice the dreamy texture that is now present (the difference is a good deal more noticable at larger sizes. Sorry). </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">At this point you have a very nice photo, that simulates the effects of infrared photography. However, we want to have a dreamy, color photo. So let's continue.</span></div>

<div>
<b>Step 10.</b> <span style="color: #444444;">Now, we want the color to show through. To do this, we have to make our "Background Copy" layer invisible, which is done by clicking the eyeball next to its name in the Layer Pallete.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> Humble beginnings – take one flower, a desk lamp and some white paper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The flower for this tutorial was photographed (using a Fuji FinePix) on a cold winters morning in Victoria whilst the sand (shot on Kodachrome film) hails from the Great Indian Desert in Rajasthan. Unlikely bedfellows, but with a little craft the two can lie together comfortably within the same frame – but only if the subtle shadow (created by a not-so-subtle 75 watt globe and a couple of pieces of white paper) is captured with all of its subtlety and delicately transplanted to its new home in the desert. This is how...!<br />
<br />
<b>Botanical Health Warning:</b> The delicate petals of the flower can be cooked, frazzled or fried by the heat of a tungsten lamp in just a few minutes. Be prepared to work quickly or use soft window light as a low-temperature alternative.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Duplicate the background layer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<b>Step 1</b><br />
<br />
Duplicate the background layer by dragging the layer to the ‘New Layer’ icon in the layers palette. Don’t worry if the edges of your white paper are in the frame. Just be sure to capture the subject and its shadow.<br />
<br />
<b>Note:</b> The surface used does not have to be white, but should be relatively texture-free. This will avoid mismatched textures when the shadow is transported to its new home.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Use the gradient tool in Quick Mask mode.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Step 2</b><br />
The initial steps in this tutorial aim to reduce the background tone to white and leave the shadows intact. The fall-off of light from the directional light source (the white background gradually becoming grey on the side furthest from the light) can be balanced using an adjustment layer. Select the ‘Default Foreground and Background Colors’, ‘Quick Mask Mode’ and the ‘Gradient Tool’ in the ‘Tools Palette’. Select the ‘Linear Gradient’ and the ‘Foreground to Transparent’, or ‘Foreground to Background’ option in the ‘Options’ bar. Drag a gradient from the brighter side of the image to the darker side of the image. A gradient in the default masking color will appear. Exit Quick Mask mode to reveal the resulting selection.<br />
<br />
Alternative approach for Photoshop and Elements users > Adobe Elements users should proceed to the next step and create a gradient directly in the Layer Mask.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Use a levels adjustment layer to balance the background tonality.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 3</b></div>
<div>
From the base of the layers palette select a ‘Levels’ adjustment layer. The active selection will create a layer mask for the adjustment layer. Move the central ‘Gamma’ slider and/or highlight slider to the left to brighten the background so that both sides of the background are of a similar tone. Be careful not to loose the shadows in this process. Select ‘OK’ when a satisfactory balance has been achieved.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 4</b></div>
<div>
Use the painting tools in ‘Quick Mask Mode’ to make a selection of the flower on the background layer (Elements users should use the ‘Selection Brush Tool’ and select the ‘Mask’ mode in the options bar). Remember to feather the selection appropriately or apply a small amount of ‘Gaussian Blur’ to the mask. Click on the layer mask icon in the layers palette to apply a layer mask to the background copy layer (if using Elements the selection can be used to delete the background on this layer). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Use a ‘Threshold’ adjustment layer to render all pixels below the flower black.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 6</b></div>
<div>
From the ‘Create new fill or adjustment layer’ menu in the layers palette select ‘Threshold’. This threshold adjustment layer will help in the process of isolating the subtle shadows and enable us to drop the remainder of the background to pure white (255). The first step is to temporarily render all of the pixels below the flower on the top layer black. This is achieved by dragging the slider all the way to the right – a threshold level of 255. Select ‘OK’ to exit the threshold dialog box. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Note:</b> Check the positioning of the layers in the layers palette if your own result does not match that achieved in the tutorial.</div>

Move the ‘Gamma’ and ‘Highlight’ sliders to render the grey tones of the background paper white. The shadows should now appear clearly defined. Unless the background is blemish free and very evenly lit not all of the background will be rendered white by this step. Have no fear the whitewash step follows.</div>

<div>
<b>Step 9</b></div>
<div>
The threshold layer has now served its purpose and its visibility can be switched off, or the layer deleted by dragging it to the trash icon in the layers palette. When the threshold is removed from the equation the background will appear white and the subtlety of the shadows will reappear. The coast is now clear for the introduction of the new background. Open the new background file and drag its thumbnail from the layers palette into the window of your work-in-progress file. Hold down the Shift key as you let go of the file to centre it in the host canvas. The new background will appear above the modified background layer for the moment.</div>

The next step involves moving the old background to a position above the new background. Start by linking the old background layer with its associated adjustment layers (click on the boxes next to the eye icons on each of the layers). Then go to the Layer menu and select ‘Create Clipping Mask From Linked’ command (‘Group Linked’ in Adobe Elements).

<br />
One of the biggest drawbacks to smart filters is that all filters applied to a single layer must share a common filter mask. Fortunately, there’s a workaround. To make a long story short, you nest one smart object inside another. To keep the long story long, read the following steps, in which I’ll employ a total of four smart filters—two masked, two not—to both smooth and sharpen the detail in a photograph.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>1 OPEN THE IMAGE TO BE SHARPENED</b><br />
Let’s start things off with a photograph that requires sharpening. I captured this image with a Leica D-Lux 3 out the window of my car. In the course of touring the back roads of South Dakota’s Black Forest, we were suddenly surrounded by a few hundred mostly peaceful bison, and this guy in particular was close enough to touch (were I endowed with really stretchy Mr. Fantastic arms). The resulting image is soft with striated noise patterns and wandering colors. If I just set about sharpening him, I’d bring out the bad detail along with the good. Fortunately, smart objects provide a more selective if somewhat laborious approach.<br />

<div>
<b>2 CONVERT LAYER TO A SMART OBJECT</b></div>
<div>
Photoshop provides a handful of commands that convert an image to a smart object. But for my money, the most convenient method is to click the little doodad in the top-right corner of the Layers panel and choose Convert to Smart Object. (It works for multilayer images, too.) Go ahead and rename the new layer something meaningful like “Bison.” Now your converted and named image is ready to receive nondestructive smart filters.</div>

<div>
<b>3 APPLY SMART SHARPEN</b></div>
<div>
To sharpen the creature, choose Filter>Sharpen>Smart Sharpen. Then set the Amount to 350%, Radius to 4.0 pixels, and Remove to Lens Blur. After clicking OK, double-click the tiny slider icon to the right of the words “Smart Sharpen” in the Layers panel and change the Mode setting to Luminosity. This focuses the attention on the detail in the image rather than exaggerating the discrepancies between color channels—always a good idea when sharpening. Leave the Opacity set to 100% and click OK. Tip: Delete the empty filter mask because it just takes up room. When you do need a mask, it’s easier to create it on the fly, as you’ll soon see.</div>

<b>4 SMOOTH COLOR WITH MEDIAN</b></div>
<div>
Sharpening did my bison some good, but it also brought out anomalous color patches in the fur. What’s needed is a generous pass of the Median filter. Choose Filter>Noise>Median, raise the Radius to a hefty 50 pixels, and click OK. As a rule, smoothing should be applied before sharpening so drag the Median filter below Smart Sharpen in the Layers panel. Double-click the slider icon to the right of “Median” in the Layers panel. (Photoshop warns you that you won’t be able to preview the effects.) Change the Mode to Color to smooth over the considerable coloring problems, and click OK to render the smoothing and sharpening effects together.</div>

<b>5 FIND BEST CHANNEL TO USE FOR MASK</b></div>
<div>
Smoothing out the color works nicely inside the bizarrely (and inaccurately) multicolored bison, but it eliminates all hint of color in the background. What’s needed is a filter mask that exposes the bison and protects the grass. Turn off the Eye icon in front of the words “Smart Filters” in the Layers panel to restore the original image, which we’ll need to build a mask. Click the Channels tab and click the various channels to find the one with the highest degree of contrast between foreground and background. For most people and mammal shots, this is going to be Red.</div>

Duplicate the Red channel by dragging it onto the Create New Channel icon at the bottom of the panel. Double-click the name (in our case, Red copy) and call it “Mask.” When the mask is complete, the bison should be white and the background black. So press Command-I (PC: Ctrl-I) to invert the colors. Next we need to exaggerate the contrast. Choose Image>Adjustments>Levels. Raise the black point value to 70 and lower the white point value to 190 to draw out the bison from its background. Click OK to complete the effect.</div>

<b>7 LOAD THE MASK AS A SELECTION</b></div>
<div>
Your mask isn’t going to win any awards for accuracy. And if you have some extra time on your hands, you could finesse it using the Dodge and Burn tools or the like. But this quick-and-dirty mask nicely highlights the areas of major color drift and fur detail, making it good enough for our purposes. To load the mask, press the Command key (PC: Ctrl) and click the Mask thumbnail in the Channels panel. Now you’re ready to apply the mask to the filters.</div>

<b>9 DELETE UNUSED CHANNEL</b></div>
<div>
One of the great things about smart objects is that they make efficient use of file size. This particular image was 15.4 MB flat and 15.4 MB after the addition of the two nondestructive smart filters. It’s only when you start adding masks that the file size balloons. We have two masks, one alpha channel and the other a filter mask, so the file size has grown to 25.7 MB. The two masks are identical, so there’s no reason to keep them both. Go to the Channels panel and drag the Mask channel (not the italicized Filter Mask item) to the Trash. The file size drops to 20.5 MB.</div>

<b>10 OPEN SMART OBJECT IN NEW WINDOW</b></div>
<div>
I’m glad to have brought back the colors in the grass. But I’m not so keen on limiting the sharpening effect to the animal. Plus we need to address the horizontal noise patterns at work in the shadow detail. This means applying a couple more filters, neither of which benefit from the existing filter mask. The solution is to </div>
<div>
create a nested smart object—a smart object inside a smart object—to accommodate the unmasked filters. Back inside the Layers panel, double-click on the Bison smart object thumbnail to open it in a new window (presumably called Layer 01.psb after the temporary file Photoshop creates to accommodate the smart object).</div>

<b>11 CONVERT SMART OBJECT TO SMART OBJECT</b></div>
<div>
You’ll see the original, unedited version of the photograph on a standard Background layer, with all pixels available for editing. Bring up the Layers panel menu and once again choose Convert to Smart Object. Then rename the layer “You’re in the SO!” This way you’ll know where you are if you accidentally enter the smart object. While this adds to the complexity of the file, quite amazingly, it adds nothing to the file size. In fact, the Adobe engineers I talked to endorse this technique and told me there is currently no limit to how deeply you can nest smart objects.</div>

Drop out the grays by changing the Mode setting to Soft Light. Then reduce the Opacity value to 50% and click OK.

<b>14 ENJOY THE RESULTS AND FLEXIBILITY</b></div>
<div>
Close and save the nested smart object. Moments later, you’ll see the meticulously sharpened result thanks to a combination of four filters working nondestructively aided by two smart objects, one nested inside the other. It takes some effort to sharpen an image with this degree of control and accuracy, but the results are worth the effort. And you can modify the filter settings without fear of harming the quality of the image. Smart objects aren’t perfect, but with some planning and slightly more patience, you can establish flexible compositions that permit you to apply filters and adjust their order and settings in any way you see fit.</div>

In this tutorial, I will show you a nondestructive process for color-editing and retouching photographs. These techniques will make your images “finished” and professional. My main weapon is the Selective Color adjustment layer. Let’s get started.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Step 1</b><br />
Below is our starting image of a couple on a beach. We also need to download a photo of a beach that we’ll use to improve the water and sky in the base image. We’ll see this second image later in this tutorial and in the PSD download available for Plus members.<br />

<b>Step 2</b><br />
First, the base photograph looks washed out. It just isn’t that interesting. Who wants to visit this boring beach? We’ll be fixing that. Regardless of what I’m working on, I always separate the foreground subject matter from the background. Most times, I use the Extract Filter located in the Filters Menu. Extract is easy to use. More often than not, it does a good job of isolating your subject. Make a copy of the base layer. Place it on top of the original. Hide it. Then open up the Extract Filter.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<b>Step 3</b><br />
Using the Extract Filter, trace the subject. Then use the Fill Bucket to fill in the area you want to keep. When using the extract filter on complex details like hair, remember to outline the whole problem area so there is definite ink overlap where the detail starts and ends. Otherwise, Photoshop has trouble calculating what to<br />
remove. Notice on the hair area, there is good overlay on the sky portion as well as the man’s head.<br />
First, I extracted the people. Later on, I moved the umbrella portion to its own layer (easier for me to keep track of, but that’s optional).<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9FN4QQa5eWCafqUQHlkouqi1sBsSUlilJo-Yj49rWT8frzkcxv1dLBe-T91OeevR41k09aOkTQGZOY_xdQlFhbmRJCPpLOmgf3pY9BsStWEdvy-t_ON7j1l83wM_x1ybV4Kxr6MRs3fZ/s1600/pic3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9FN4QQa5eWCafqUQHlkouqi1sBsSUlilJo-Yj49rWT8frzkcxv1dLBe-T91OeevR41k09aOkTQGZOY_xdQlFhbmRJCPpLOmgf3pY9BsStWEdvy-t_ON7j1l83wM_x1ybV4Kxr6MRs3fZ/s320/pic3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Step 4</b><br />
After a successful extraction, there’s still some touch-up that needs to be done. Using the History Palette, set the state you want the History Brush to go back to. We want to paint back the duplicated layer before we extracted it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGHsLsFEiczJ9ESz1sZ2kHVtGIjH33JMQLSh4Nfw97jh3E1KIQGFYumFYOMpZ9EfSipltqGzQ9usOiJwKTzkEVWADqvhURDgA41xq15LjrXlaFQSyPkeFW1ERcpfycv1bDnjylIVSPLInl/s1600/pic4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGHsLsFEiczJ9ESz1sZ2kHVtGIjH33JMQLSh4Nfw97jh3E1KIQGFYumFYOMpZ9EfSipltqGzQ9usOiJwKTzkEVWADqvhURDgA41xq15LjrXlaFQSyPkeFW1ERcpfycv1bDnjylIVSPLInl/s320/pic4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<b>Step 5</b><br />
Zoom in tight and you will see some artifacts that weren’t extracted correctly. Sometimes there’s too much background showing. Or there’s foreground that was extracted by mistake. Using the History Brush(Y) and the Eraser Tools, paint back in the foreground and Erase(E) the extra background.<br />
<br />
Remember to change the softness of your brushes to match the outline of your subject. Use a harder brush when the edges are sharper. Use a softer brush when you are in an unfocused area of the subject. That’s how you keep it realistic.<br />
<br />
Turn the visibility of the original photo back on after touching up the whole outline of the subject. You now have a perfectly separated foreground object on top of your background.<br />
<br />

<div>
<div>
<b>Step 6</b></div>
<div>
OK, now that our foreground is on top of everything else, let’s do something about that sky and ocean. Rather than using separate images for the sky and ocean, I found an image that will be used to replace both. I happened to find a clouded sky image that also had a good saturated ocean as well.</div>
</div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 7</b></div>
<div>
Paste the new sky image on a new layer beneath the extracted foreground. Line up the original ocean line with the new ocean line. Create a layer mask on the new sky image layer. Use the Gradient Tool (using a black to white gradient fill) to affect the layer mask. Create a gradual fade between the base image and the new sky image. Your result should look like the second image below.</div>

<br />
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 8</b></div>
<div>
All right, the new sky and ocean look pretty good. But now the sand looks too washed out. Let’s pump it up. Most of the time, I use Selective Color instead of Hue/Saturation. You get better fine tuning and less artifacts that way.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Enter the quickmask area (the button for it is located at the bottom of the tools palette). Now everything you paint or fill is treated as a selection. The painted part is the unselected area. Use the Gradient Tool to fill the quick mask from the edge of the water line to the sand. Exit the quick mask. Now you have a selection that is gradated from 100 percent selected to 0 percent selected. In other words, you have a nice selection of the sand area.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 9</b></div>
<div>
Now use the Layers Palette and add a new adjustment layer. When you create an adjustment layer, whatever was selected turns into a layer mask for that adjustment layer. Select Selective Color from the adjustment layer menu located at the bottom of the layers palette. Since this area is fairly neutral, we’ll be using the colors white, neutrals, and blacks. See below for the exact values. Notice I’ve used the Relative method. That adds and subtracts color from the source in proportion to how much of that color is present in the source pixels. This gives more natural effects. If you use Absolute, it adds the percentage you specified regardless of how much of that color was already present in the image.</div>

<b>Step 10</b></div>
<div>
Let’s check how our layers and images look at this point by viewing the images below.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 11</b></div>
<div>
We’re looking pretty good. One last big thing: that umbrella, very washed out, and a blue umbrella on a blue sky is not the best choice. Let’s make it pop by making it orange. First, isolate the light blue parts. Since the shapes were pretty simple, I used the Polygonal Lasso Tool. You can also create paths, use the quick mask </div>
<div>
feature, or even use extract like we did earlier in this tute. Doesn’t matter how you do it, just get a selection of the blue parts of the umbrella shade.I’ve selected the light blue areas. Now they are isolated. Let’s create another Selective Color adjustment layer. See below for the exact values I used. Unlike the hue/saturation adjustment, you can make really broad color shifts without a lot of the artifacts and overly saturated pixels showing up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgauAa57CfopoIuqzSJ6va0hq6O7scgftF0dVbZVd0qsQGIMnu92r5mrrG5FFJL44mf-_2PUew54wtz6zP2JIj9FtMPdoH_AjKO0_D10Rq6gyxeaLoXh81bk3-OJFrlaprgMbEy7rEWUOW3/s1600/pic12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="155" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgauAa57CfopoIuqzSJ6va0hq6O7scgftF0dVbZVd0qsQGIMnu92r5mrrG5FFJL44mf-_2PUew54wtz6zP2JIj9FtMPdoH_AjKO0_D10Rq6gyxeaLoXh81bk3-OJFrlaprgMbEy7rEWUOW3/s320/pic12.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 12</b></div>
<div>
Since I maxed out the blacks in the neutral color channels, I decided to use yet another selective color adjustment layer in order to bump the contrast a little more. Press Command and Click the layer mask of the umbrella’s selective color adjustment layer. That will turn the mask into a selection. Make a new selective color adjustment layer. You just need to bump the black up in the neutral channel to darken it down a bit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5OAy6muSUrro1qg6SjPKNS4ks9TwdRP29BI_oj7iK9T6CHjoJfLhtacWjIuU_YR9-OWraySiPAoBKExOKeAEHDEijkecpH5Mj1dQvSLn7tnzVEu9WyA_Qb6-1LXq_I2K9PBmw79VwL1d1/s1600/pic13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5OAy6muSUrro1qg6SjPKNS4ks9TwdRP29BI_oj7iK9T6CHjoJfLhtacWjIuU_YR9-OWraySiPAoBKExOKeAEHDEijkecpH5Mj1dQvSLn7tnzVEu9WyA_Qb6-1LXq_I2K9PBmw79VwL1d1/s320/pic13.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 13</b></div>
<div>
From here on out, it’s the fine details that really make an image appear finished. The chairs’ fabric backs need some pumping up. That can be accomplished the same way as with the umbrella by using our new friend the selective color adjustment layer. The woman has some back fat sticking out. That’s not attractive. Let’s get rid of that in a nondestructive way.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With the foreground layer selected, lasso the woman’s arm. Press Command+J. That puts the selection on its own layer. Now you can clone, stretch, and manipulate the </div>
<div>
new copy without destroying any of the original pixels. Same with the man’s face; he’s got some 5 o’clock shadow. Overall, his face is a too dark. Lasso it, copy it to a new layer, and experiment away.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Conclusion</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
That’s it! This process is how I start all of my photo-editing projects. We spent the time in the beginning to isolate the foreground subjects on their own layer. A lot of our masks are very simple to make. You’ll also notice that I haven’t touched any of the original base photo pixels. These nondestructive techniques make it easy to go backwards or start over.</div>

In this Photoshop tutorial, we’ll learn how to match the color of an object in one photo with the color of an object in a separate photo using the <b>Match Color </b>command, which has been available in Photoshop since Photoshop CS (which means you’ll need at least Photoshop CS if you wish to follow along with this tutorial).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here I have an image, taken from a catalog, of a model who’s obviously quite happy with how well the color of her new top matches the outdoor setting she finds herself in:</div>

<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Personally, I like the green color better, but hey, whatever the client wants, right?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Photoshop’s Match Color command was created specifically for this type of task, although it does have plenty of other uses as well which we’ll look at in other tutorials. However, depending on the images you’re using, Match Color doesn’t always work perfectly on its own. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes, it needs a little help, and as we’ll see in a moment, this is one of those times. Let’s get started!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Step 1: Duplicate The Background Layer In The Original Image</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444;">The first thing we always want to do when working on an image in Photoshop is duplicate the Background layer. The Background layer contains our original image information and we don’t want to lose it in case we need to fall back on it. Currently, my Layers palette is showing that my Background layer is the only layer I have: </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">To duplicate the Background layer, all we need to do is use the handy keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+J (Win) / Command+J (Mac). If we look again in the Layers palette, we can see that we now have two layers – the original Background layer on the bottom and a copy of it, which Photoshop has automatically named “Layer 1″, on top:</span></div>

<b>Step 2: Select The Object That Needs A Color Change</b></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Using the selection tool of your choice (</span><span style="color: #0b5394;">Lasso Tool, Pen Tool,</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">etc.), draw a selection around the object that needs its color to be changed. Here, we can see my selection outlines around the woman’s top:</span></div>

<div style="color: #444444; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: left;">Use the selection tool of your choice to select around the object that needs a color change.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Step 3: Select A Large Area Inside The Object In The Second Image</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Switch over to your second image at this point and again using your favorite selection tool (the Lasso Tool will work fine for this), select a large area inside the object that contains the color you need. In my case, I’m going to select a large section of the purple top the woman is wearing. There’s no need to make a precise selection around the object, but what you want to do is make a large enough selection so that you’re grabbing as many shades of the color (light and dark areas) as possible. Photoshop needs as many shades of the color as you can give it so it can accurately apply the color to the object in the original image (the buttons on her shirt may or may not cause some problems so I held down my Shift key and dragged around them with the Lasso Tool to subtract them from my selection, just to be safe):</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Step 4: Switch Back To The Original Image</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Now that we’ve selected the object in the first photo and selected a large area of color inside the object in the second photo, we can head over to the Match Color command. Before we do though, we need to make sure that our original photo is the one that Photoshop is currently looking at (the technical term would be to bring the original photo into "focus"), so click anywhere inside the document window of the original image to select it. The Match Color command is going to refer to this original image as the </span><b>Destination Image</b><span style="color: #444444;">, as if the colors from the second image will be taking a trip over to this one, while the second image (the one containing the color we need) will become the </span><b>Source Image</b><span style="color: #444444;">. For now, just make sure the original image is the one currently selected (in focus).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<b>Step 5: Open The Match Color Command</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
With your original image selected, go up to the Image menu at the top of the screen, choose Adjustments, and then choose Match Color:</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">This brings up Photoshop’s rather large Match Color dialog box. Now, I love Photoshop. I think it’s the greatest thing since crayons. But quite honestly, between you and me, something just isn’t right about the Match Color dialog box. It’s confusing, and it shouldn’t be. I wish Adobe would redesign it but so far, as of Photoshop CS3, they haven’t, so we’ll just have to cut through the confusion to get to the simplicity underneath.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The Match Color dialog box is divided into two main sections </span><b>– Destination Image</b> <span style="color: #444444;">on top, and </span><b>Image Statistics</b><span style="color: #444444;"> (say what?) on the bottom. See, you were thinking the bottom section would be called "Source Image", right? I mean, that would make sense. But nope, it’s called "Image Statistics". Let’s just leave the bottom section alone for now and look at the top section, "Destination Image".</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The Destination Image is the image containing the colors you want to change. There’s no way to actually set the Destination Image in the dialog box. Photoshop simply assigns whichever image you had selected when you chose the Match Color command from the Image Menu as your Destination Image, which is why I had you select your original image first. My original image is named "green.jpg", and we can see its name listed beside the word "Target" at the top of the dialog box:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="color: #3d85c6;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Below the Destination Image’s name is the</span><b> Image Options</b><span style="color: #444444;"> section, containing options such as </span><b>Luminance, Color Intensity, Fade,</b><span style="color: #444444;"> and </span><b>Neutralize</b><span style="color: #444444;">. Common sense might have you believing that since these options are clearly grouped in with the Destination Image section at the top, they have something to do with the Destination Image, but common sense would be wrong. They control the Source Image at the bottom, which you assign down in the Image Statistics section. See what I mean? This dialog box needs some work.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Fortunately, even though the dialog box itself is confusing, what we’re trying to do with it is not. We already have our Destination Image chosen, so now we need to select our Source Image.</span></div>

<b>Step 6: Select Your Second Image As The Source</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Down in the Image Statistics section at the bottom of the dialog box, you’ll see an option named Source with a drop-down box beside it. Click on the small arrow to the right of the drop-down box and choose your second image from the list to set it as your Source image:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Select your second image from the “Source” option drop-down list.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">If your Source image contains multiple layers, you’ll need to select the appropriate layer from the Layer option below the Source option. In my case, my second image contains only one layer, the original Background layer, so it’s automatically selected for me.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #444444;">Step 7: Tell Photoshop To Use The Selections You’ve Made In The Images</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Directly above the Source option are two options with checkboxes beside them –</span><b> Use Selection in Source to Calculate Colors </b><span style="color: #444444;">and</span><b> Use Selection in Target to Calculate Adjustment.</b><span style="color: #444444;"> The first option tells Photoshop that we want it to use only the colors inside our selection in the Source image when matching the colors to the Destination image. In other words, in my case, I want Photoshop to use only the purple colors I’ve selected inside the woman’s top. If I didn’t make that clear to Photoshop, it would ignore my selection and use colors from the entire photo, which isn’t what we want, so make sure you click inside the checkbox for this option to select it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The second option says that we want Photoshop to concern itself only with the specific object we selected in our original image when figuring out how to match the colors. In my case, that means I’m telling Photoshop that I only want it to look at the colors that make up the green top the woman is wearing. If I didn’t specify this, Photoshop would take all the colors from the entire photo into consideration and the result wouldn’t be as accurate, so make sure this option is also selected:</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Select both the “Use Selection in Source to Calculate Colors” and “Use Selection in Target to Calculate Adjustment” options to tell Photoshop to use only the selected areas in the images when matching the colors.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Click OK when you’re done to exit out of the dialog box and have Photoshop try to match the colors in the Destination image with those from the Source image. In many cases, this works beautifully and no further work is needed. Depending on the images you’re using though, that may not be the case. Sometimes Photoshop doesn’t get it quite right. For me, this is one of those times. Here’s what my original image now looks like (the selection is still visible and active):</span></div>

<div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Photoshop was able to get the basic color right, but there’s definitely something wrong with the overall effect. The problem is that there’s no longer any contrast in the woman’s top. The dark shadow areas are much too light, and any subtle highlight areas have disappeared. Basically, it looks fake. This is one of those times when Match Color needs a little help. I could have tried adjusting the brightness by dragging the Luminance slider in the Image Options section of the Match Color dialog box, but all that would have done is made the entire top lighter or darker. I need to be able to adjust the highlights and shadows independently. Fortunately, it’s easy to do, as we’ll see next!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">I’m going to use a simple</span> <b>Levels adjustment layer</b> <span style="color: #444444;">to darken the shadows and brighten the highlights of her</span> <span style="color: #444444;">top.

<b><span style="color: #444444;">Step 9: Drag The Black And White Point Sliders In Towards The Center</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">When the Levels dialog box appears, you’ll see a large black</span> <b>Histogram<span style="color: #444444;"> </span></b><span style="color: #444444;">(looks like a mountain) in the middle of the dialog box, along with three little sliders below it – a</span> <b>black slider </b><span style="color: #444444;">on the far left, a white slider on the far right, and a gray slider in the middle. To darken the shadow areas, simply click on the black slider and drag it towards the right until it’s at the point where the left side of the Histogram begins. Keep an eye on your image as you drag the slider so you can see what’s happening to the shadows and adjust the slider as needed. Then, when you’ve corrected the shadow areas, click on the </span><b>white slider</b> <span style="color: #444444;">on the far right and drag it towards the left until it’s at the point where the right side of the Histogram begins. Again, keep an eye on your image as you drag the slider to see what’s happening with your highlights. Photoshop may be a computer program but that doesn’t mean you and I need to think like one. Use the Histogram as a guide but trust your own eyes above all else:</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Click OK when you’re done to exit out of the Levels dialog box. Your shadows and highlights should now look much better, but chances are you’ve just created a different problem. In my case, the woman’s top now has a much more realistic level of contrast to it, but the overall color has been changed:</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Step 10: Change The Levels Adjustment Layer’s Blend Mode To “Luminosity”</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The reason for the color shift is that by default, the Levels command makes changes not only to the luminosity (brightness) values of the image but also to the colors. We need to tell Photoshop that we want our Levels adjustment layer to affect only the luminosity values of the object and leave the colors alone. How do we do that? Easy. We simply change the adjustment layer’s blend mode. Go up to the </span><b>Blend Mode</b><span style="color: #444444;"> option in the top left corner of the Layers palette. It currently says “Normal”, which is the default blend mode. Click on the small, down-pointing arrow to the right of the word “Normal” and select </span><b>Luminosity</b><span style="color: #444444;"> from way down at the very bottom of the list:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Change the blend mode of the Levels adjustment layer from “Normal” to “Luminosity”.</span></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Here, after changing the blend mode of the Levels adjustment layer to “Luminosity”, is my final result:</div>

<br />
In this tutorial we will color a black and white photo using gradient maps, solid colors, and the Color blending mode. Using these techniques, you will be able to hand color any black and white photo in a way that looks photorealistic.<br />
<br />
<b>Final Image Preview</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Before we get started, let’s take a look at the image we’ll be creating. Before and after images are shown below.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzzs0VG-O7aH5pCkxXjJ_jdnPiiyHJQ0zBuK0hc2L3KRxrA4S1rmYQ9BXmoIqa7lzkyVDlv-EfQE3rO-uEiAYx403hWftxiR3B3VB3NFLba6iTLDmzDqRgp0kiGW4znhJhLWFQRIgTTd2/s1600/pic1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="106" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzzs0VG-O7aH5pCkxXjJ_jdnPiiyHJQ0zBuK0hc2L3KRxrA4S1rmYQ9BXmoIqa7lzkyVDlv-EfQE3rO-uEiAYx403hWftxiR3B3VB3NFLba6iTLDmzDqRgp0kiGW4znhJhLWFQRIgTTd2/s320/pic1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<b>Step 1</b><br />
Double-click on the background image to make it an active layer. Create a new group by clicking on the little folder icon located at the bottom of the layers palette and put the layer in the group. Name the group “girl”. Draw a path around all the hard edges of the girl. This includes the face and the shoulders. Don’t worry about the hair for now; we will do that separately. Save the path. Make a selection of the path by holding Command-clicking on the path thumbnail in the paths palette. Hit Alt+Command+D and Feather the selection by 0.5px. Apply the selection as a mask on the “girl” group.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Step 2</b></div>
<div>
Disable the mask on the “girl” group by holding Shift-clicking on the mask thumbnail. Now in the Channels palette, duplicate the red channel by dragging it to the New Channel button at the bottom of the palette. Apply a harsh curve, like the one below, to separate the hair from the background as much as you can.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 3</b></div>
<div>
Hit Command+I to invert the red copy channel. Re-enable the mask on the “girl” group. Load the selection of the red copy channel with your background color set to white. Hit Delete(backspace) to fill the selection with white on the “girl” mask. If you hit Alt+Click on the mask thumbnail, you can see the mask as a channel.

<b>Step 4</b></div>
<div>
Now let’s start to add some color using a Gradient Map. In the “girl” group, make a new Gradient Map adjustment layer just above layer 0. Hit OK without doing anything and set the Gradient Map layer’s blending mode to Color. Now double-click on the Gradient Map’s layer thumbnail to open up the settings again. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A Gradient Map uses the grayscale data from the image below it to apply the gradient that you create. The left side of the gradient represents the darkest parts of the image. The right side represents the light parts. We need to make a gradient that represents what the woman’s skin tone might look like from dark to light. I used the gradient below.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 5</b></div>
<div>
Draw a path around the eyes. Load the selection of the path and Feather it 0.5px as we did before. Make a Curves adjustment layer just above the skin layer. Then lighten the eyes a little bit. Now make a Gradient Map layer just above the curves layer and hit OK before adjusting any settings. Set the new Gradient Map layer’s blending mode to color. Now hit Alt+Command+G to apply it as a clipping mask to the curves layer. Now change the Gradient Map’s settings to a pink-to-white fade like below.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 6</b></div>
<div>
Draw a path around just the iris of the eye. Note that we need only the path to follow that one curve between the iris and the whites because the adjustment we are making will be applied as a clipping mask. Load the selection and Feather it 2px. Make a solid color adjustment layer just above the Gradient Map from the previous step. Then set it to a dark faded green. Hit Alt+Command+G to apply it to the same clipping mask you made earlier. Set the blending mode of the green layer to color. You might have to go back and adjust the green until you get a color that looks real.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<b>Step 7</b></div>
<div>
Repeat all the previous steps for the lips, except for this one we’ll leave the blending mode of the Gradient Map to Normal, and set the layer’s Opacity to 65%.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<b>Step 8</b></div>
<div>
We need to get more variance of color in the skin tones to make it look more real. I made some selections around the eyes, nose, and cheeks. Then I feathered them 20–40px, created solid color adjustment layers, set the blending modes to Color, and brought the Opacity way down to 10-20%. Below you can see my selections as quick masks. The layer palette shows the colors I used for the different areas. As you can see I used some red to add some blush to the cheeks, some red around the nose, mouth and eyes, and some blue to go on the bags of her eyes. These small details make all the difference.</div>

<div>
<br />
<b>Step 9</b><br />
Make a loose selection around the face and neck and feather it 50px. Make a curves adjustment layer just above the ‘skin’ Gradient Map that we made earlier. I just went in and tweaked the colors a bit to get a little more color variation in the skin tone. You can download the curve file I used here.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<b>Step 10</b><br />
Now we need to make a selection of the hair. I used the path that I saved from Step 1. Then I modified it a little to line up with the hairline’s shape and softness. I did this by using Quick Mask Mode(Q), and using brushes of various sizes and softness to match the hairline.Make a new Gradient Map adjustment layer at the top of the “girl” group. Make the gradient a similar to the image below. I left the blending mode at Normal for this layer.<br />

<div>
<b>Step 11</b></div>
<div>
Make a selection of the shirt. Then make a new Gradient Map adjustment layer. Hit OK and set the blending mode to Color, as we have done before. Edit the gradient so that it looks something like the one below. You will have to play around with the gradient until you get a good separation between the green and white stripes.</div>
<div>

<b>Step 12</b><br />
Choose a Sky image. I used one I shot myself, but there are plenty of stock images you could use. Bring it into the document below the “girl” group. Hit Command+T, and size it to fill the frame. It looks good, but notice that our hair mask still isn’t really looking that good against the blue background. The hair turns a muddy gray in the transition between hair and sky. To fix this, make a new blank layer just above Layer 0 (the image of the girl). With a large and soft black brush paint over those areas with an Opacity of 15-25% until the transition looks better.<br />
<br />

<br />
As an added bonus, I applied the techniques from the Super Quick and Easy Facial Retouching tutorial to smooth out her face a little bit. As you can tell, I decided to make her red haired, but you can make your gradients whatever color you would like. She just seemed like a redhead to me. Here is the final image.<br />

<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
One of the great things about using adjustment layers in Photoshop is that each one comes with its own <b>layer mask</b>. If we look in the Layers palette, we can see that we have two layers. The original image is on the Background layer, and directly above it is our Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. The black rectangle with the small area of white in it on the right of the adjustment layer is the layer mask thumbnail, which is showing us a preview of our mask. That small area of white is the area we’ve </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
selected around the man’s teeth.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
Make sure the layer mask is selected. The way you can tell if a mask is selected or not is by looking for a white highlight border around the mask preview thumbnail in </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
the Layers palette. If you see a white highlight border around the thumbnail, it means the mask is currently selected. If you don’t see the border, click on the thumbnail to select it:</div>

<div style="color: #444444;">
Make sure you have white selected as your foreground color, since we’re going to be painting on the layer mask with white in order to reveal the effects of the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer over the guy’s teeth. To quickly set it to white, first make sure you have the Hue/Saturation layer mask selected in the layers palette, and then press the letter<b> D</b> on your keyboard, which will set your foreground color to white and your background color to black:</div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Step 8: Paint With White Over The Teeth To Restore The Whitening And Brightening</b></span></div>
<div style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444;">With our brush selected, the layer mask selected in the Layers palette, and white as our foreground color, all we need to do now is paint over the teeth with our brush to bring back the whitening and brightening. You’ll probably need to change the size of your brush as you’re painting. To change the brush size, press the <b>right bracket key</b> on your keyboard to make the brush larger and the <b>left bracket key</b> to make it smaller. You’ll find the bracket keys to the right of the letter “P" on your keyboard. If you want to adjust the edge hardness of the brush, hold down your<b> Shift</b> key and press the right or left bracket keys. <b>Shift+right bracket</b> makes the brush edges harder, and <b>Shift+left bracket </b>makes the edges softer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Simply paint over the teeth with the brush to reveal the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer over those areas, making the teeth whiter and brighter. You may find it easier </span><span style="color: #444444;">to zoom in on the teeth, as I’m doing here:</span></div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;">
If you accidentally paint over an area you didn’t mean to, just press the letter <b>X </b>on your keyboard to swap your Foreground and Background colors, which will set your Foreground color to black. Paint over the mistake to hide the effects of the adjustment layer, then press <b>X</b> again to switch back to white and continue painting.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;">
For some areas, you may also find it easier to paint with a lower<b> opacity </b>brush. You’ll find the Opacity option in the Options Bar at the top of the screen. A low opacity of around 20% is sometimes helpful to avoid over brightening teeth in the darker corners of the mouth:</div>

<b>Step 1. </b>First of all, we’re going to smooth the skin texture of the model. This will give the whole image a professional feel and improve its overall aspect.<br />
<br />
Duplicate the background layer and go to Filter -> Noise -> Median and insert a value of 3. Next, go to Filter -> Blur… -> Gausian Blur … and insert 3 again.<br />
<br />
<b>Add a layer mask </b>to the layer you just blurred, fill it with black and start painting with white over the skin, with a soft brush, varying the size according to the area. Make sure you avoid the lines of the face, eyes etc. because you don’t want to blur those, just the skin.<br />

<b>Step 2</b>. Now we’re going to change the lip color to mimic a light pink lipstick. First, press Q in order to enter the Quick Mask editing mode, and then choose a soft brush, choose black as the color and then zoom in and paint over the lips. You’ll notice that instead of black, it will seem as if you were painting with red; this is because you’re in the mask mode. Make sure you don’t go over the edges. If you make any mistake, just choose white and paint over that part.<br />

<br />
Switch back to Standard Mode by pressing Q again and you’ll notice a selection appear. The advantage of using the mask mode to select is that you have far more control over the selection than by using the Lasso Tool.<br />
<br />
Go to <b>Select -> Inverse</b> and then to <b>Image -> Adjustments -> Hue/Saturation…</b> (or simply press <b>Ctrl+U</b> for the dialog box to appear) and insert the following settings:<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
Press <b>Ctrl+H</b> to hide your selection (this will not deselect the area, it will just make the marquee around it disappear), so that you can see clearly the edges of the selection. If you notice that an unwanted area around the lips turned pink, simply press <b>Q</b> to enter the Quick Mask Mode again, zoom in and carefully paint with black over that area. Then switch back to the standard mode by pressing <b>Q</b> again and take a look at the result.<br />
<br />
Add a subtle highlight on her lower lip by using the <b>Dodge Tool</b>, a small soft brush, exposure set to <b>70%. </b>With a slightly bigger brush you may highlight her upper lip, again in a very subtle way.<br />
<br />
When you’ve finished, make sure the area of the lips is deselected to continue to the next step.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Step 3. </b>To change the eye color, select the eyes by using the same method you used for the lips, and then press <b>Ctrl+U</b> to bring up the <b>Hue/Saturation</b> dialog box, check<b> Colorize</b> and use the following settings:<br />

<br />
Press <b>Ctrl+H</b> and check for any mistakes. If there are any, fix them as previously shown with the lips.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Step 4.</b> Now we’re going to do the eye makeup. Select the eyelashes on her lower eyelid by using the <b>Lasso Tool</b>, with a feather setting of 5. Go to<b> Image -> Adjustments -> Brightness/Contrast</b>… and lower the <b>Brightness</b> to <b>-10. Deselect </b>the area.<br />
<br />
<b>Create a new layer</b> and paint with a purple, soft brush on it, over the area between her eyebrows and eyes.<br />
<br />
Set the layer blending mode to<b> Overlay </b>and the <b>Opacity to 35%</b>. Then refine the edges of the area by erasing with a large soft brush around it, making sure it blends in well and looks natural.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<b>Step 5</b>. To enhance the effect of the image, we can now adjust its color cast to better match the changes we made.<br />
<br />
Add a Selective color adjustment layer with the following settings:<br />
<br />
<b>Reds:</b> -43 0 -22 +7<br />
<b>Yellows:</b> 0 0 0 -41<br />
<b>Neutrals: </b>0 0 0 -7<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Step 6</b>. Add another Selective color adjustment layer, in order to change the color of her dress from cyan to purple:<br />
<br />
<b>Cyans:</b> -100 +100 -100 +100<br />
<br />
You will notice that this layer will slightly affect the color of the eyes. I actually liked it better that way, so I didn’t change it.<br />
<br />
If you don’t like that, then choose a soft brush and paint with black on the layer mask of the adjustment layer (I’ve highlighted it with yellow on the following screenshot).<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">As evidenced by the original photo, there were a large number of issues to deal with in making over this subject. The most concerning was the irregularity of the light & shadow on her face, specifically down her right side (our left).Here's a list of the problems, and the modifications made: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1.</b> First and foremost was the skin tone/texture. Smoothed it out a lot, and balanced the lighting.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2.</b> Softened the hot spots along the nose and on the chin, so those features wouldn't protrude so much.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3.</b> Hair color was dull and lifeless. I chose fire like red to offset the cool eyes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4.</b> Eye color was also dull and lifeless. Fixed those too.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5.</b> Eyes whites were reddish brown and veiny. Brightened them up considerably.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>6.</b> Eye lashes were uneven and a little thin. Balanced them out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>7.</b> Eye brows were also uneven and needed to be trimmed back to balance face better. Did that.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>8.</b> Lips were lopsided, and the color was weak. Evened them, and added lip liner to enhance their shape.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>9. </b>Pear shape of face was too strong. Applied rouge along the cheeks and down the sides to the jaw line, to help lengthen the face and broaden the forehead.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>10.</b> Although I REALLY wanted to give her a little reconstructive surgery, I resisted. The only thing I felt I really had to fix was her fulcrum. It was crooked, and I straightened it out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bear in mind that this 'version' is but one of the many various ways this subject could've been 'made over'. My interpretation is not the end-all-be-all. If trying this for yourself, find ways to be original if at all possible. It should also be stated that I would not normally 'wax out' a person's skin tone like this. I was only showing the extreme to make a point. The 'synthetic look' does have it's place, but it's not used that often in the real world.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 1 - Smoothing Skin tone & Texture</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Duplicate the original photo layer, and apply the FILTER/Noise/Median... filter.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The setting should be somewhere between 5 and 10. As reference, look at the split image above... I used a setting of 8 for that. The exact amount is highly dependant </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">on the quality of the original skin tone/texture. Generally, we want to balance out the shades in the skin color Blending them together, but not washing them completely out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add a Layer Mask, and using black, paint overtop of the main facial lines, and the entire eyeball area, including the eyebrows. Use a small soft brush for this and try to paint only where you need to. In most cases, the layer mask doesn't have to be too perfect, but don't be too sloppy either. If the subject's skin texture is very strong, then a more precise and detailed mask may be required. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The example image here shows where the Layer Mask is painted on, so you can better see how it fits over the facial areas.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Reduce the Opacity of this layer to somewhere between 50-70%; depending on how strong or subtle an effect you want. The choice is yours, because this setting amount is also dependant on the quality of the original skin tone/texture. So use your own judgment here, based on your photo.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Layer.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use a hard brush that's the exact same size as the iris, and paint with the desired color over top of the original iris. Set the blend mode to Hue/Soft Light/Overlay. Your choice. The blend mode choice is affected by how light/dark your replacement color is. Layer Opacity can also be lowered to make the effect more subtle. In my header image, I used 'Hue' blend mode.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Select the white of the eyeball; either using Quick Mask or the selection tools. Add a HUE&SAT Adjustment Layer right above the smoothed duplicate layer. Lower the Saturation and raise the Brightness until the white looks 'almost' white. Don't go too pure white, or it'll look real fake. Click the Layer Mask for the Adjustment layer, and apply the 'Blur More' filter 2x -- to soften the edges a bit, and blend this new white area into the outer edges of the eyeball.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paint an irregular shaped spot of white over the place where you want the eye highlight to be ( we're doing the small bright spot of white right now ). Usually, most photos will have one already, so add to it with this fresh bright highlight, over top of the original one. Just to liven it up. As you can see, the specular highlight </span></div>

<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Layer. Paint with a small soft brush using black, along the underside of where the eyelid is. Right over the topmost inner edge of the eyeball itself. This adds more depth. Set the blend mode to Soften, or leave it on Normal and lower the Opacity. This should be a very subtle effect. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Layer. Paint with a small soft brush using white, around the inner area of the iris. You don't have to paint over the entire area as I did. A smaller brightened area is also effective looking too. This choice is yours to decide. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Note: Do not just fill the entire iris area with a full-on solid white circle. Not only will it look real bad, but it'll not look natural either. This is one of those 'extras' that needs to be 'not-so-perfect' looking. Study the middle image in the above examples.</span></div>

<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Layer. Zoom into the lower eye area several hundred percent. We need to see the lower eyelash area real well. Paint with a 1 pixel brush using black, along the top edge of the lower eye lashes. We're adding a thin pencil line of eye-liner. Then use the Blur tool (R key) and run it across this line once or twice. Don't blur it right out, just soften it up a little. Adding this eyeliner helps to frame and present the eyes better. It'll make them stand out more. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look at the image to the right as a guide. Use whatever color you want, and paint a fresh coat of makeup onto the eyelids, and where ever else you like. I also painted on a line of highlighter too, along the top of the eyelid just below the eyebrow.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then choose a suitable layer blend mode to use. I used 'Soft Light' for my image. Try a number of them though, as they all produce very specific looks/effects. </span></div>

<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even though we never directly covered the lip & hair areas, the same methods apply to those as we just used to add makeup to the face. Lipstick is a 'makeup' too. So just paint it on as well, and set the blend mode appropriately. I've found that reducing the layer's Opacity also works well for lips. This example image shows here I started painting purple over the original red. My blend mode was 'Hue', and the Opacity of the layer was 100% -- 50% looked good too. Use these settings as a starting point.</span></div>
