Okay, retouch again... . I didnt know why i made this tut but i just followed my

inspiration .

In this tutorial i will tell you how to make a complete portrait retouch. You will

know how to remove blemishes, retouch and enhance the skin, eyes, eyebrows,

lips, as well as improve the highlight and shadow to make your picture look

natural, vivid and beautiful. During this process many different techniques are

shown and everything is explained in detail.

After and before retouching:

,

1. Duplicate your pic twice to get layer 1 and layer 1 copy. I will soften skin on

layer 1. I will tell you why i prefer to soften the skin before removing blemishes

while other people do in opposite way. Because after softening, we just need to

work on less blemishes skin. I suggest you to use some methods :- Gassian blur: it works well with small pixel, from 3 to 5

- Smart blur, Surface blur, or Dust & Scratches, Median ( from Noise filter): no

matter what filter you use, remember choose value not to let your pic has "dead

pixel", like this:

Get rid of it otherwise it will ruin your photo.

Here i choose Surface blur with radius =4, threshold = 12

Then Choose Layer-Layer mask-Hide all. Choose soft white brush and start

painting on the skin avoiding the edge of the face, eyes, eyebrows. You can hit X

on keyboard and use black white brush to edit any area softened unintetionally.

Layer 1 copy is used to make your pic sharper to look more natural. Twomethods can be used are Smart Sharpen and Unsharp Mask.

Amount shows magnitude and contrast of each edge.

Radius controls the size of the edges you want to enhance so a smaller radius

enhances smaller-scale detail.

Threshold shows the minimum brightness change that will be sharpened. This is

useful to reduce amplifying noise or roughening the texture of skin.

Choose correct value for your pic. Here is my choice:

Lower opacity to 50%.

Result after doing this step:

2. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E. Now i will improve shadow of the pic but not affect the light

on the model face. Choose Select-Color range- Shadow:

Then right click on created selection, choose feather = 10 we have :


3/12

Choose Image-Adjustment-Brightness/ contrast:

3. Now the time for removing blemishes. Create a new blank layer, choose Spot

healing brush and make sure that "Sample All Layers" is checked on property

bar. By this way we can edit the skin without affecting all the pic and can go back

anytime to adjust it.

I choose parameters for this brush: 24 px, Hardness=0 and Spacing = 43%. Spot

on the blemishes. It works better in highlight and worse in shadow. Be careful


4/12

because Spot healing brush is not a miracle. But dont worry if there is any skin

area that cant be fixed by this brush. Leave it and we will use another methods

that i will tell you right now.

Choose Clone Tool in the Toolbar ( make sure "Sample All Layers " is checked

too). Click the skin area near to the one you want to fix while holding the Alt key.

Then paint on it ( remember change opacity to fit ). About my part, i use it to fix

the eyes area, forehead, chin,...like you see on the pic below:

Pay attention and patient. The result will be worthy.

Create a new blank layer, choose Eyedropper Tool.

The aim is to smooth skin again, adjust the light of model face and fix any

unsatisfied areas. Click it on the skin ( better choose bright area) and foreground

color will be set like this:

Then choose soft brush with opacity 15%, flow 18% to start painting on areas

that need to be fixed.Notice to keep correct shadow of nose and right eyelashes.


5/12

We can see the light in shadow is increased and in the highlight is decreased.

Look much better ?

4. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E. Apply Unsharp Mask again. Its to make the skin look more

natural and more visible.

Add a layer mask to eraser all too much sharp areas.


6/12

5. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E again. Use any tool you like to create selections on white

sclera of left eye ( hold the Shift key to create many selections on the same layer).Right click on it, choose feather = 1.5

Press Ctrl+L to adjust brightness:

Do the same with right eye, notice the light on it must be a bit less than the left

because its in the shadow.


7/12

Now i just notice that iris on left eye is deformed and i dont like it. Use clone tool

in the way above to make it rounder.

Create selections around irises, press Ctrl+B to adjust color, change Cyan and

Blue:

Remember she is Asian so let the color be natural:

6. After doing it, we need to enhance the light of eyes by Dodge and Burn tool.

Like the way to use Clone Tool i want to apply it on a new layer so i create a newblank layer and set it to overlay like this:

Now i can use Dodge Tool on a transparent layer.

I choose Highlight Range and Exposure 58%, paint around the pupil and light

blobs on the eyes. Remember that you must lower Exposure when you paint on

the right eye. Be careful otherwise it will look unnatural.

I also use Burn tool ( Midtones Range) to strengthen the eyelines.


9/12

7. Create a new layer and use Clone tool to make the stroke of eyebrows look

finer. Click on area above the eyebrows with opacity 42%, flow 46% to paint the

stroke. I use Sharpen tool after cloning to make the eyebrows more visible:

8. Create a new layer, use soft brush with color code is 715e66 paint under the

eyebrows like this: remember that the tails of eyes are painted darker)

Apply Gassian blur with 5px. Then choose Add noise from Noise filter:


10/12

Set this layer to Color Burn 20%. Eraser gently on the corner under tail of lefteyebrows we have:

This step is to set off the eyes.

9. Create a new layer to make up the lips. The lips look pretty fine so i just

enhance its color. I use color f97560 to paint on her lips and set this layer to Soft

light 60%.


11/12

10. Now we will retouch the nose. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E to get a new layer. Choose

Filter-Liquify:

Use Forwarp Warp Tool to make the bridge of nose thinner and more straight.

11. Create a new curves layer, lower opacity to 30%. This step to increase light

for the shadow.


12/12

Choose layer mask, use soft black brush to eraser the right eye.

PS: i dont make up the cheeks because they look fine already. But you can do it to

your pic by use colored brush on a new layer, lower opacity, blur it and set to

correct layer mode.
