Photoshop Tips: Glamour Retouch

In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through the process of doing a highly stylized retouch, with a focus on achieving that glamour-style look.

Once you select your image, create a separate layer and begin to pass over the image with the clone tool, minimizing the image’s flaws in order to create a glossy appearance.

    I apologize on behalf of some of the brutal, rude persons who could not take 30 more seconds to re-phrase their choice of words in their comments. If they, like I, are MM -ers I would look them up & ban them. Critique of one’s work works both ways.
    There are better ways to disagree or express less charming feedback.

    Understanding we don’t all love the same things; for heavens sake -or for ART’S SAKE, if you will, apply a Golden rule (& I’m not talking about lighting- photographers!) Thank you for offering your instructions my dear.

    You really should zoom in on the detail when touching-up an image, especially when demonstrating something like this, and I’d suggest working with full opacity [while using the rubber stamp tool] to see the effect you are creating, then varying the layer opacity to blend with the underlying image.

    You lost me with “glossy appearance.” Why is that always associated with the idea of glamour? It’s usually a sure sign of bad editing.
