please help me, skin probem!!!!
Hi everyone, I shot this picture and I m now retouching it... but i have a big problem: How can i make the skin smooth and uniform color?? I already removed the rincles and imperfections, but now in the skin the are some small colour difference that make look the model (client) very old! I don t think frequency separation can be helpful here because i tried already, so what shoud I do? Im in a hurry because i have to deliver the picture soon to the client but i want to solve the skin problem... i m so sad  i don t know what to do i watched hundreds of tutorials but none answer my question https://www.dropbox.com/s/xtywn8rrm0393 … 8.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/m9mtcimc3cjlo … i.jpg?dl=0 I would like to achieve something like this in terms of texture, will it be possible?? https://www.dropbox.com/s/2tgkf7qu4ne6q … 0.png?dl=0 Nov 29 14 06:46 pm Link Nov 29 14 07:54 pm Link wished i kept my copy as i did a try on your image a day ago but i guess it was taken down. If you are trying to get the results from the image you want Dodge and Burn is the way to go. Edit: my try was still up on the host site. Mine was a little more subtle.  Nov 29 14 09:06 pm Link Do you have RAW? Nov 29 14 09:20 pm Link you asked for advise, critique...ok...a beauty ...and the intensity of the detail is more for a gritty guy thing...my opinion..do not do macro detail with women and intense light...Mo Nov 29 14 09:40 pm Link Use freq sep with a radius of 4 or 5 for that image. Go to the low freq layer and use either gaussian blur or motion blur selectively to smooth out the variations in the skin tone. If yu still have problems send me a private message and I will try to help. Regards Colin Nov 30 14 01:47 am Link Nov 30 14 03:47 am Link .....

Then used a Hue and Saturation to remove the color discoloration that was left behind. Some minor Healing and Cloning, that was about it.

Bear that in mind in the future. Dec 06 14 04:24 am Link So i spent about 5 minutes on this, but i think i sadly went too far! but, just as a rule of thumb. You've got yourself a beautiful portrait. I think if you spent a little time on dodge and burning, and removing any blemishes.. anything's possible with what you want to achieve. Use a curves adjustment layer and hue/saturation adjustment layer. You've used very hard lighting on a low power, so i think if you used a diffuser like a beauty/octobox/softbox facing direct infront of the model next time you can definitely achieve the result you had in mind. This time sadly there's a lot of shadows, but i think it works well. It shows the character in the face, and I personally like it. Just an idea for next time! Here's my take.. sorry about going a little far in it! it's called rushing i'm afraid.  Dec 06 14 08:38 am Link Here is a quick touch up I did in my spare time.... I saved have the PSD file in case you would like to see the work flow. I can upload it later on and PM you the link. I'm studying for a physiology final so I really don't have much time right now...
