Came back to check on after a long time. Thought you stopped. But good to see you posting again. Whenever I look at you brings back memories from 2015 when I was just starting out. Thanks for the amazingness Aaron. I feel you got a bit grumpy maybe it's the age. So have I. Love you Aaron. Thanks for the amazing learning days ❤️

[@86Ponzy]

Hi!! Thanks a lot for this video!! A question, is it possible to do the same procedure but put the layer in color mode and using lighten for the brush so you don’t lose texture in the skin? Thanks a lot!

[@shawnbrandongarcia4514]

Your voice got deep!

[@omarmalik6377]

Nice work sir love from Afghanistan 🇦🇫 I have learn so many things from your videos ❤ thank you again ❤

That's a mindblowing tip that works so well, thank you so much. Now you have created a monster, I'm retouching all the portraits I have in my archives

[@phlearn]

that's amazing!! we can't wait to see what you'll do with these new tips 🤩

[@barbudaniel6440]

[@TomTowles]

Thanks, great tutorial. Is there a reason you dont have the brush in Color mode (instead its in Normal)?

[@JustMe-Amr]

The step at the end of ctrl-D is super important to deselect the selection. So many times I would forget that when the selection is hidden.

[@Bob4golf1]

nice!

ty,now i know how to use photoshop

[@johnhewick1145]

@phlearn Great tutorial Aaron! I’ve always loved how you teach and provide reasons why and examples of what not to do. This is better than what I was doing which was using the clone stamp set to lighten and 18% opacity. The only advantage to my prior method was you don’t lose the natural texture. When you use the paint brush you get smooth non grain texture. I’m now using your method but with the added step of either clipping a grain layer above the retouch layer set to overlay or soft light. Or clipping an add noise layer at very small amount like 0.9% this really helps blend in the retouching even though your already reducing the opacity, it makes it look even more natural.

[@phlearn]

We're glad you enjoyed our tutorial!

[@jason7741]

You could start in quick mask mode and paint with a soft edge brush your selection

[@rameshpathange2354]

good sir

[@ZoranImsiragic]

Like the way you are presenting. Like that, there is no AI solution. It can be used in older versions. For this situation, I use patch tool, especially when I want some wrinkles to stay. But, I learned something which I can use. Thanks.

[@Vanriebeeck]

Hi please could you consider showing how to do a gritty joel grimes styled photos thanks

[@sillythigcosplay]

If you did frequency separation first and added the new layer mask above the color layer would that still work while preserving the skin texture?

[@phlearn]

Hey there! if you send us an email to support with a screenshot of your PSD file and layers our team will do their best to assist you

[@b991228]

Could frequency separation touch-up work? Moderation!

[@phlearn]

The success of using frequency separation on this particular area of the face will depend on the image's complexity. We always suggest trying a few different techiques/tools, to see what works best for you 🤗

[@ashwinkishore9936]

Hi, any possible way to convert jpeg to AI vector (not image tracing in illustrator- we don't get curves properly) may be in PS or AI or any other software

[@jpegjustice7733]

Can we get some skin retouching techniques for iPad?

[@liveliferock]

If I do the same after Frequency seperation? That will give me more control over colour and texture. Correct me if I am wrong.

Hello sir can you change all subject skintone with get equal skintone please make tutorial 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ZoranImsiragic]

As you said, Cmd+H is hiding Extras or Photoshop. It will be good to say that on Windows, Ctrl+H is hiding Extras only. There is no hide Photoshop (or any App) with Ctrl+H. It will be good that you think about all users, not just on Mac. You will have more subscribers. 😊

[@amaroullai4679]

thanks a lot for the efforts, the quality of the sample images are a bad quality

[@immortalsun]

How do I do this in real life?

[@davide.caballero5023]

Why not dodge and burn using curves??

[@MsLuziaBojart]

You mean retouch using local dodging and burning? It's definitely possible and it looks the most natural when done well imo, but it does take a while. I guess it depends on how much time you're willing to spend on it.

[@The3rdGunman]

Aaron does not age

[@dandiehm8414]

Another great tutorial, Aaron. But I noticed you saying "OK?" a LOT in this video. I've never noticed that in your previous tutorials - it wasn't annoying, just noticeable.

[@aussie2uGA]

I have to admit, with the steps and time, I'm going to wait for generative AI or neural filters to take care of this.

[@yurak2864]

where is the difference with AI , where is the sphere after brushing this way ) it actually works if not over clicking

[@DrJBHL]

Actually, the bags are fat tissue with veins which cause the the dark color...no biggy.

Geez, you don't need to repeat everything. If someone doesn't understand on first listen, they can go back and rewatch!!! This has taken way too long.
