Flawless 1-Min Skin Retouch Action in Photoshop!

[@meep_boi]

I was at work, literally typing into the KZbin search bar for tips on retouching and this man posts this video. I felt like it was specifically for me lol. Thank you!!! 💕

[@DesigneshYT]

I will write the steps for you. 1. Duplicate the background layer twice, name the bottom "Color" and turn off the top. 2. Convert the "Color" layer to a smart filter, then apply the Noise > Median filter to smooth out the skin, adjusting it until it's balanced. 3. Create a new layer for texture, set mode to Overlay, fill with 50% gray, and convert for smart filters. 4. Add Noise (around 30%, uniform, monochromatic), then add Gaussian Blur (around 1.8) for a realistic skin texture. 5. Turn on the top layer, apply a High Pass filter with the same radius as Gaussian Blur (1.8), set blending mode to Linear Light, and group all layers. 6. Refine with Blend If sliders to protect highlights and shadows, then apply a black mask. 7. Use a soft brush to paint over areas where you want to apply the effect; adjust layer opacities if needed. 8. Record these steps as an action with a shortcut for faster future retouching. Adjust settings per image as needed. Thank me later

[@davidgambin2551]

On top of the skin retouch you threw in a class on how to create actions, just like nothing happened. You’re the only one true master 🙌

[@charlesscott4929]

It amazes me how you develop such simple yet powerful techniques. Your PiXimperfect Pro course is incredible and worth every penny. No wonder they call you the Photoshop GOAT.

[@haseebbarya8294]

I am telling you people, this guy is a time traveler who went into the past and made PS for adobe!! Amazing as always

[@Ahad1610]

Unmesh is the unsung hero of all those who have saved their jobs by watching his tutorials. What a great person and teacher!

One word - GREAT!!! Save a lot of time!

[@7VDC]

Unmesh never misses! 🎯 You are so appreciated by us! You have no idea! 🎉

[@ManyGhosts]

Unmesh, you are a brilliant man.

[@JerryLoisPhotography]

This, once again, is fantastic work, Unmesh! Clever! Question: how well does this work when there's lots of other elements in the background (e.g. the person is surrounded by leaves and branches, or other textures in the shot that make the facial edges harder to see? Will first selecting the subject help control the area you're painting in, i.e. to stay "in bounds"? The examples seen here have faces that easily stand out against the background, so wondering how much of a factor this is. Thank you so much!

[@cypljonochek4052]

It’s unreal! Thank you so much for sharing

[@naveenktda]

Great! Thank you Unmesh.

[@jeanclaudecancedda5346]

I would really love it if you did an extensive in depth video about retouch4me’s FS plugin. There isn’t much about it on KZbin. I’m a longtime follower, love your channel.

Great vid! Scandinavian keyboards dont have shortcut for choosing layer up or down [ and ]. Is there a way to select the layer benith without a shortcut or that function will not work with non US/EN keyborards?

[@MortenSkalstad]

I'm curious to know as well! This has been my issue for ages!

[@Bojadza]

go to Keyboard shortcuts and menus and make your own shortcuts 4 that. Doesent matter wich keyboard you use. Personaly, I use german, and I made my own shortcuts for most SC.

[@ricktwice2205]

@@Bojadza hi! I have the same problem with my keyboard and I couldn't find the layer panel shortcuts to change them in the sc edit... do you know where they are?

[@Bojadza]

@@ricktwice2205 under keyboard shortcut and menus, search for layer, from shortcuts for: choose TOOLS, and you will find 3 opt. Second one is "Show previous Layer Bounday " and shortcut is [ - change it...

The super mario background sound on the very first part of the video though.....hahahaha

[@subby111]

interesting technique. slight problem: there is no bracket key on standard european mac keyboards. a script is needed to go a layer backward... but with it everything works fine... thanx.

[@vergil751]

so much ways to retouch thanks to Unmesh, now i"m confused ^^ can somebody tell me this way or frequency separation is better ?

[@BurkhardPookFoto]

Is it possible to buy single actions? This on for example

[@Micha-Hil]

I'm broke but this is really useful :)

[@DAHCKRAM]

Are you going to add this to the PiXimperfect Compositing Plugin? Please...

[@mattiharo]

Great video 😊 Unfortunately I have yet to find out how to enter Option-bracket shortcut on Finnish keyboard, since just to enter a plain bracket, I must enter Option-bracket. So on a Finnish keyboard, hitting Option-bracket produces a bracket character. The same problem is when trying the shortcut for changing the brush size, it doesn’t work on Finnish keyboard. Wonder if anyone has a solution for this. One solution could be to buy a US keyboard for photoshop usage only 🤔

[@saganandroid4175]

I really wish you would state what versions of PS are required for something to work. 11:07 why do you stop recording the actions and select a different tool?

[@shonthelawn]

he already had the brush selected while recording the action, but he wanted selecting the brush to be part of the action. so in order to do that, he stopped recording, picked a different tool, then started recording again and selected the brush. this way, selecting the brush is part of the action.
