*For those who want to review the stages in a short time, I wrote the steps below* 1-) Remove Blemishes Create new layer , fix blemishes with regular healing brush, ( Pro Tip : Adjustment layer Black/White with lowered reds can help you spot the blemishes ) 2-) Make 2 copies of it , Ctrl/cmd + J one for color , one for texture. 3-) Add Gausian Blur to Color Layer 4-) Select texture layer , go to image and apply image .Substract Color layer with scale:2 and offset:128 , Change blend mode from normal to lineer light 5-)Put texture and color layers into a group with cntr/cmd +G 6-) Paint on a new layer between color and texture layers with a soft brush, take samples from the models face . Turning texture layer invisible and looking without zoom may help you decide. (Make different layers for different parts .You can play with oppacity afterwards) 7-)Apply Dodge and Burn with creating a colors adjustment level and painting with white after masking it all black Extra* 8-) Liquify : create a merged layer by pressing shift +ctrl/cmd + alt/opt + e . convert it into smart filter. Apply filter liquify

Very interesting to see how the pros do retouching. I've learnt a lot.

Exactly. I am surprised people didn't understand that.

This isn't how the professionals do it. This technique is too destructive and makes the subject in the image look fake. Professionals use the Darkness and Lightness technique. It takes a while but keeps the image looking full and fresh.

What about the spot healing tool in Camera Raw? To me, it's very handy and I usually use it to the possible extent before I open the image in Photoshop. I remove major blemishes with it upfront and then go for details with healing brush or patch tool in Photoshop. By the way, this has become my favourite PS tutorial channel recently. Unlike some other instructors, you do not skip intermediate steps and clearly explain (and even repeat) how to. Thanks a lot.

[@konradkrygielski554]

it works in the same way.. i think doing this in Photoshop straight away just reduce the time spent on one picture so I would recommend doing that, unless you have a better workflow doing it your way. After all that is what this is all about - improving the workflow ;)

[@michystokke]

I love your tutorials but I have an issue. Not an issue with your tutorial specifically, but with every youtuber that has done this same or similar tutorial and has used some already near perfect head shot of some girl that looks great as is. If there’s a scarcity of imperfect headshots on all the stock photo sites I’ve got plenty of hideous head shots of myself that I can send in that would make for a far more challenging tutorial. Moreover, it would be more likely to wow the masses if the transformation was much more shocking than starting with perfection to begin with. Because I like you and I love your tutorials, I am willing to send you the best of my worst, free of charge. It has everything a photo editor dreams of when wanting a challenge; under eye bags, skin discoloration, black heads, scarring and more. If you could pull it off, now that would be a tutorial to watch!

[@JaykneeHill]

You can always download RAW photos online. There is no previous editing to them and they make for great projects.

[@photobuf1]

Hi Michele, one way to open the image in Photoshop and then make a duplicate layer of the image. Take the healing brush and just go crazy getting rid of the wrinkles and all blemishes. Then turn off that layer and go back to the original image layer. Go to channels and control/option click on the RED channel. This make a selection of the red channel. Go back to the layers channel, turn on your corrected layer and click on the layer mask. The images is corrected and you can do it all over again if you need more corrections.

[@svideos5754]

To have a good photo you need to already have a good start so utilize lighting and whatever you want that would make your photo look good

[@veronicagorosito187]

You're amazing as a teacher and really a master in arts, it remembers me back in 2003 when I worked on a photo studio for a fine art photographer, and we did crazy stuff all the time! like, putting a complete good face or head of a bad background shoot, to another almost exactly same background (sessions of thousands of shoots), but a good one. So we replaced the face, sometimes a leg that wasn't worth it, or a hand, or just replacing a mouth, eye, lips, etc, etc , etc... We changed the whole sky, removed trees, or constructed a beautiful sunset with weird Levels masking. Sometimes erased the whole floor (a wood and ugly broken scenario) just painting or constructing a new one from scratch, and let it a smooth floor. Crazy and consuming work. Good to know that Ps now has better and creative tools added. I'm now into audio engineering (I'm a musician after all), editing, mixing & mastering, restoration and I have to say, that Audio Engineering is so similar to Visual, regarding digital editing. The bright & dark concepts of depth on Audio, is in Equalization, but adding Dimension to a sound with reverberances gives a 3D feeling, that I've found similar working with layers in Ps. Many concepts from audio can be used to visuals and viceversa! I learn new approaches to process audio from Ps tutorials...not only the digital trickeries and shortcuts, but HOW TO deliver the artistic message. This is so inspiring. I never went to a school, or have studied art, I just love to process audio & images and your channel inspired me to freelancing in retouching again because I had new skills, learning from you, thank you so much from Argentina!

[@sixcycle]

This is a fantastic tutorial but I hate plastic looking models. Yes, I agree, if you're going to be in some fashion magazine and that's the standard, it's important. But personally, I don't want any of my models looking like this. I do like smooth skin, but remember that it's our imperfections that make us unique. This is simply painting on new skin, as you said, which I think takes away from the model's individuality. Nevertheless, great video.

I really like your instructional videos and I profit a lot from them. Just one point of criticism: The result might be interesting for advertising folks, but for artists it’s hard to overlook the puppet look of the final image. Look at this nose! Shiftet to the left side (from the viewer’s perspective). And how do you deal with that overdone make up on the lips? Besides, I’ve got the feeling that we are shifting back to the dark ages of the wax skin era again. Don’t get me wrong: I am looking forward to follow this channel, because I like it, but sometimes it might be necessary to adjust the perspective and be strict with the results. That doesn’t mean that I don’t like the contents, on the contrary so! As I said: very happy to learn from you.

[@RobertHouse101]

His point was how to adjust, in detail, to your personal tastes. He didn't mention anything about his final result. It wasn't about an ending. It was about the flexibility of this process to suite your particular wishes for a final look..

[@kingberzerk]

Of course you are right.

[@cpt1255]

The professionals use the Darkness+Lightness technique when retouching skin. The technique used in this video is destructive and makes the image look fake even when done more carefully.

Well FS is good technique to start with learning how to retouch but when you want to go professional you will need to learn how to micro d&b.

[@anwarsadathashraf604]

what is micro d&b. I ask curious to know more.

[@anwarsadathashraf604]

is that dodge and burn ?? Dear @piximperfect , Kindly make a tutorial on that too.

[@kirasnapshots84]

it's the same technique as for the normal D&B, but the micro is for the small parts of the skin, so you match the skin color with only micro D&B.

[@m9000k]

I agree this technique is not for professional use. There is no shortcut for dodge and burn if you want to make it like a pro and don't change and polish too much the model. With this technique the guy already changed the skin too much, too polished and i think working on a blurred image is not good for your eyes :)

Agreed. So depressing to see people peddling techniques like this. The complete opposite to high-end!

[@jonnypearson8082]

It’s not really blind criticism though, is it? I could see your point if the technique he’s showing actually looked good, but he’s teaching a bad habit under the guise of ‘High-End Skin Retouching’; a habit that some people then find hard to break, even after years of retouching. As with most worthwhile techniques, Dodging & Burning does take time to master, but you can pick up the principles in next to no time. Why would you point someone down a blind alley instead?

I can't find a word to describe how great is your channel! Your tutorials are extremely detailed, way better than a teacher I paid for teach me! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, and please never stop! :D best regards from Brazil.

Always a pleasure to re-watch your videos! (keep forgetting the ctrl + alt + shift + e shortcut so I'm back once in a while XD) I think that every graphic designer who stumbles upon your channel will benefit so much from seeing your techniques! I thought my retouch skills were wonderful for many years, and then I've learned how it can be done better, faster, and much more professional just by watching this video (not to even mention the rest of them!) Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, you are helping so many people and I'm always in awe with the results!
