![]() Get close, and if possible, use a tablet and stylus for more precision. A subtle difference, but an important one. You can see them just fine In the first shot, because the picture started out nice and sharp, but in the bottom shot, they are razor sharp. Photo by Barb StitzerĬan you see the difference? Look at her eyelashes. ![]() Every line and pore will be pronounced, but look at how sharp it is…almost too sharp for the computer, but not for print. 2 in the radius section, and 5 in your threshold. It will make the preview look crazy for a minute, but just ignore it. Then go to filter>sharpen>unsharp mask again. Set the amount to 20%, the radius to 60 pixels, and the threshold to 0. The first thing you need to do is sharpen and defog your photo.Įvery digital photo needs to be sharpened and defogged for printing, no matter how sharp the photo looks on your screen, and by looking at Maryanne’s gorgeous lashes, you can tell that this shot is nothing if not SHARP. ![]() So here is the straight out of the camera shot of Maryanne, who is absolutely gorgeous even when totally unretouched. So, here is an easy portrait retouching tutorial. And to bring out their eyes and natural beauty while keeping them looking like themselves.Įven if people tell you that they want to look 20 years younger, the majority of them really just want to look like themselves, only fresher. You want to soften wrinkles, not obliterate them. You want to enhance it, not beat it to death, make it fresh and glow-y, while still keeping the integrity of the skin. It is my most used tool in Photoshop I use it on every face I edit.When it comes to skin retouching, less is more. The patch tool helps eliminate distracting elements in the skin while naturally smoothing and retaining texture quickly and easily. You do not want to completely eliminate the lines and shadows of the face because that would change the contour of the person’s face. For adults, depending on the severity or deepness of the wrinkles, I’ll increase the opacity to around 60%. This will open up a fade dialog for you to change the opacity of the patch.įor laugh lines on children’s faces, I normally keep the opacity pretty low, around 30% or so. After you make the patch, you’ll fade the selection (using keyboard shortcut command + shift + F). The patch tool can also be used to soften the skin, lines, and wrinkles. To completely remove a blemish or scratch, stop here or sometimes an additional patch may be needed to completely remove the scratch. Once you release the mouse, Photoshop analyzes both selections and merges them to heal the area. The tool allows you to preview what pixels will be cloned into your selection. Then you drag the inside of the selection to an area of the image – such as clean skin – that can be used to patch over the original selection. You can use the patch tool itself to make the selection of the area that needs to be patched or removed. The Patch Tool (keyboard shortcut is J) works in a way similar to the healing brush but rather than a brush, it works with a selection that you define. I love that it retains the texture in the skin, looks clean and natural rather than plastic-y and blurred. I use this tool on both children and adults. There are many methods of removing imperfections but my favorite is Photoshop’s Patch Tool. While editing, I always notice a scratch, blemish, some drool, or even stray crumbs on their faces. When taking photos of children, nothing is perfect.
