Tutorial Photoshop; Extreme Retouching


This retouching is a simple example of the power that has photoshop on how you can bring out the best of the beauty of a person. In this tutorial we will show simple techniques of retouching using the tools most popular of Photoshop.


Step 1
First of all, duplicate background layer and call it healing brush. Select from the tool's panel the spot healing brush and use it to remove all the imperfections of the skin included spots and little wrinkles. Also you delete the hair in front of the eyes.

Step 2
After we cleaned her face,duplicate the healing brush layer and select lasso tool by the tool's panel . With lazo, make a rough selection of the eyebrow and apply free transform by the menù modify/free transform or by the shortcut ctrl+t. Resize the eyebrow intervening on the transform controls; In this case, move down the higher and lift up the lower transform control (indicated by the arrow) and click on the selection to move the eyebrow and reposition it. Press Enter to confirm and press Ctrl+D to clear (deselect) the selection. Duplicate the healing brush layer again and merge it at the eyebrow layer. Now,using clone stamp and healing brush tool, cleaning the old. eyebrow and make uniform the skin around (img 1-2). Repeat the same procedure with the other eyebrow.(don't worry about the hair on, because they cover it later).

Step 3
Duplicate the healing brush layer. Start from the hairs, select the clone stamp tool and using the these values, diameter 80px e hardness 50% , Consider as source a part of thick hair,and cover these hair to get a similar result (img.3). Now make his teeth more regular using clone stamp tool with a small diameter (5px for example) and opacity about 85%(img.4). When we have reached a good results, remove circles with clone stamp tool(img.6), being attention to get a natural and homogeneous result.

Step 4
Duplicate the eyebrow copy layer and rename it liquify. Open from the menu bar Filter/liquefy (shortcut Maiusc+Ctrl+X); select plucker tool (s), and with a enough size of brush ( 205px for example) make the nose slightly small, giving like short shots with brush over the entire length of the nose. Using the bloat tool (b), reduce the brush size (90px for example) and give more volume to lips.

Step 5
Duplicate the liquify layer and call it smooth skin. Go in Filter/noise/dust and scratches and set the radius about 10 pixel and press ok. Now go in Filter/Blur/Gaussian Blur, and set the radius about 10 pixel, and press ok.

Step 6
Now go in menù Layer/layer mask/ hide all, it will be created a layer mask filled of black at our layer that it will hide the filters applied.So select the brush tool and set "foreground color" on white than set the opacity of brush tool with approximate values (60% for example) and begin "to paint" (with the mask selected) only on the skin excluding also hair,eyebrows,eyes, ecc. We'll see to back top the filters applied before. Using a lower opacity paint also on the lips to smooth it.

Step 7
Now we need to emphasize the eyes using the dodge and burn tools. Duplicate the liquify layer and rename it eyes Select the dodge tool from the tool's panel and set Range in Highlights, Opacity until 30%-40% and we choose a diameter that fits the eye (see the figure). So paint the inside of the eyes to make them brighter. Now select burn tool with a small diameter (6-7px) set an opacity about 10% and paint the edge of the iris to darken it.

Step 8
Now apply just a little bit of make up. Create a new layer (Maiusc+Ctrl+N) and we have to make sure that it is in top of the other layers. Select the brush tool, choose a dark color and set the opacity at 100%, painting on her eyelid like if you put on the eyeshadow; now apply a few of Filters/Blur/ Box Blur on this layer choosing like values 4px or 6px (in this range). At the end change the blending mode of the layer on Soft Light (you can try also Moltiply or Color) and reduce layer's opacity. Repeat the same procedure for the other eye and, if you want, also to add phard on the cheeks (but in this case we need to choose a higher value for a blur) and lipstick, creating a new layer for everything and choosing the colors that you prefer. This is my version:

Step 9
now retouch the brightness and contrast. Create a new layer from the menù bar: Layer/New adjustment layer/Curves, you can give a name at the layer and click Ok. Choose from a Preset Menu "Linear Contrast" and press Ok. So duplicate the "eyes" layer and go in Filter/Sharpen/Unsharp Mask.. and set this values: Amount=35%; Radius=5px; Threshold="0"; and press Ok. Go in menù Layer / Layer mask /hide all and now retouch the brightness and contrast. Create a new layer from the menù bar: Layer/New adjustment layer/Curves, you can give a name at the layer and click Ok. Choose from a Preset Menu "Linear Contrast" and press Ok. So duplicate the "eyes" layer and go in Filter/Sharpen/Unsharp Mask.. and seti this values: Amount=50%; Radius=5px; Threshold="0"; and presso Ok. Go in menù Layer / Layer mask /hide all. Select the brush tool and set as foreground color "white" and paint on the eyes to sharpen.
The end.
