How to Retouch and Airbrush Skin in Photoshop Read more at http://photoshoptutorials.ws/photoshop-tutorials/photo-retouching/retouch-airbrush-skin-photoshop/#uMhgrxOERwT1VEO8.99

Learn how to retouch skin professionally in Photoshop without making it look fake or blurry. In this Photoshop tutorial, you will learn how to reduce wrinkles and blemishes, airbrush skin naturally, dodge and burn, and more using all non-destructive editing techniques. Once you learn this, you can make everything from natural skin improvements to glamorous airbrushed skin used in advertising.

BeforeAfter

Step 1

Open the image that you want to edit. The photo should be high-res with a lot of skin details. For educational purposes, this tutorial will be shown using a photo with more dramatic skin flaws. We like to thank DepositPhotos.com for providing the stock photos used in this tutorial.

Step 2

To begin, we’re going to start with a subtle skin retouching method that uses the Yellow channel to reduce skin flaws. Go to Image > Mode > CMYK. In the Channels panel, click on the Yellow channel. Copy this channel by pressing Ctrl/Cmd+A then Ctrl/Cmd+C.

Step 3

Undo the steps by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Z or Cmd+Option+Z on Macs until you’re back in RGB mode. Press Ctrl/Cmd+V to paste and the Yellow channel will appear as a new layer. Name this layer “Flaws”.

Step 4

Invert the layer by pressing Ctrl/Cmd+I then change the blending mode to Soft Light. Reduce the opacity until you get the results that you like. You can add a layer mask and erase the areas around the face if it is affecting the color/details of the surrounding areas. We don’t need to do this for our photo because the layer doesn’t affect the surrounding areas in any noticeable way.

Here’s the before and after of using the yellow channel to reduce skin flaws.

Step 5

Before we do any sort of airbrushing on the skin, we’re going to use the Spot Healing Brush to reduce wrinkles and blemishes. Select the Background layer then duplicate it by pressing Ctrl/Cmd+J. Move this layer to the top then rename it to “Wrinkles & Blemishes”.

Step 6

Use the Spot Healing Brush to erase the wrinkles and blemishes. Reduce the opacity of the layer to bring back some of the wrinkles and blemishes then position this layer below the Flaws layer.We’re pretty much done and as you can see in this before and after preview, the skin looks a lot better than before.

Step 7

If you’re happy with the results, you can stop here. But if you want to continue with some more dramatic skin retouching techniques, follow the rest of the tutorial to learn how to airbrush skin and reduce discoloration in the skin.

Before we proceed, convert all your layers into a single Smart Object. To do this, Hold Ctrl/Cmd and select all the layers. Right-click on the layers then choose “Convert to Smart Object”. This will save you time by letting you make changes to the faces at a later time without having to undo and redo everything. Rename this layer to Original.

Step 8

Duplicate the layer then rename it to “Smoothness”. With the Smoothness layer selected, go to Filter > Blur > Surface Blur. Set the Threshold to 255 levels then adjust the radius so that you can barely make out the face.

Reduce the Threshold until you can just start to make out the details. The skin should still be very blurry. Click OK to apply the filter.

Step 9

Duplicate the Original layer then move it to the top. Name this layer “Details”. This layer will be used to restore the details lost in the Smoothness layer.

Step 10

Go to Filter > Other > High Pass. Adjust the radius setting until you can barely bring back the details.

Step 11

Change the blending mode of this layer to Linear Light. The skin looks cleaner, but it looks overly airbrushed and has a fake plastic look to it. This may work well for younger subjects with fair skin, but for skin with more complexions, you’ll have to reduce this for it to look realistic. Here’s what the airbrushing looks like before and after.

It is not Adobe Photoshop, or Adobe Illustrator, but close enough! Aviary

Did you know? You can create, edit, store and share graphics and sound files right in your Google Apps account?

It is not Adobe Photoshop, or Adobe Illustrator, but close enough! Oh yeah, and it’s free. Aviary is a very powerful suite of browser-based design tools, now available right from within our Google Apps account! If you are looking to do some basic image editing (crop, resize, rotate, effects), or if you are looking to edit some audio recordings, create a business card, or something similar, but don’t have these tools on your home computer, look no further. Give the Aviary suite of applications a try – right in your browser.

Aviary is a suite of FREE web-based design tools. There is an ‘educational version’ hosted on their website (www.aviaryeducation.com), but now Aviary can be embedded in your own Google Apps account! You can use Aviary to create, edit and share a variety of digital files in your classes or offices.

Aviary offers the same power and capabilities of leading desktop editors and design tools, with the freedom and flexibility of browser-based applications. Whether you are trying to edit a screen capture of your website, remix a music track or create a logo for your new program or extracurricular, Aviary has the right tool for you. Additionally, any new projects you create will be stored as a document in your “Aviary Files” folder in Google Docs! From there, you can share your Aviary files with colleagues and students.

Over the next few days I will be highlighting one specific Aviary application to focus these emails a bit. For now, if you are interested, you can start a new project using any of their preset templates available. To access Aviary’s tools, log in to your Ignatius email account, and in the top left menu (to the right of ‘Documents’ and ‘Sites’) you will see “more”. Click the “more” link, and from that list you will see ‘Aviary’. The Aviary page will display, giving you access to start a new project from scratch – or choose from a template.
