Photoshop Airbrushing HELP
I am student and I am trying to learn how to retouch. I am currently using an inverted highpass filter and masking the skin and also just started experimenting with the mixer brush tool, I like the soft skin look it gives but I feel it makes the skin way too soft and leave no texture to the skin. Any suggestions or tips on how you guys airbrush. Thank you for your time Jul 18 17 04:40 am Link I use all values around 20% opacity. Jul 18 17 07:32 am Link Better learn dodge & burn techniques. Jul 19 17 12:39 pm Link I use Frequency Separation at 100% opacity, which usually looks way too plastic-ish for my taste but does retain sharpness/skin texture. From there, I use the "blend if" layer menu/option to balance everything. All in all, I think it's best to learn whatever technique that works for you (in my case it was Phlearn (YouTube) Frequency Seperation) then build on it from there to customize your look/workflow.

Aug 07 17 02:31 am Link Hi, I use Frequency Separation the most for skin retouching. Need to learn to work with very small brush and be very patient for retouching skin texture. I suggest don't overwork on skin colour blend with Gaussian Blurr - it makes skin look flat. Aug 08 17 03:25 am Link |
