Photo Retouching Skin

Posted on by

I saw this tut

This will be our first tutorial on the subject of re-touching a photograph in photoshop. We will be working on a photo of a model and using a few techniques to smooth and even out the skin.

I thought oh kewl, as its a subject I’m quite fond of. I had a look at the methods in the tutorial and it felt a little odd as I’ve been taught a different way. So I decided to have a very quick go with the source image and compare my final result with the one done by the author.

Heres my quick attempt
My attempt skin retouch

The speed I carried out in, I probably haven’t got the color correct. I think she looks more like a cover model now though : )
I know the tut wasn’t for creating cover models.

  1. I had a go as well. I definitly should practice more to get the results of the retoutching masters, but it’s so fun to do.
    And gives you a power feeling lol.
    Makes you wonder when one will create photoshop for real life now…specialy in summer when mosquitos deface you and cream care is sooo slow ^^

    keep it up, Yas & have fun ^^

  2. looking back at this it looks like someone has put a potato peeler to her face and taken away the top layer of her skin.

    Think I will have another go.
