With Adobe Photoshop, you can bring back youth, at least in photography. Using the powerful tools of this image editor, remove the veil that time has thrown on someone's face.
Instructions
Step 1
Open the photo. All changes must be made on a new layer so as not to spoil the main image. Use the Ctrl + J keys or the Layer via copy command from the Layer menu.
Step 2
Select the Healing Brush Tool from tool group G. Adjust the brush: set a small diameter and hardness = 0. Hold alt="Image" and left-click on an area of the image with a relatively smooth area of skin. The program will consider this fragment as a standard.
Step 3
Move the cursor over the problem area in the neighborhood and click the mouse - the bad skin will be replaced with the reference one. In this way, treat wrinkles and enlarged pores where the illumination of the face coincides with the illumination of the reference area. Then take a new sample Alt + LMB and replace problem skin in the next area. You can undo the action by pressing Alt + Ctrl + Z.
Step 4
Copy the image to a new layer. From the Filter menu, choose Gaussian Blur. Choose the diameter at which the wrinkles will be invisible, and remember this value. You don't need to click OK.
Step 5
In the Other group, select High Pass. Set the radius value as you remembered in the previous step. Then apply a Gaussian blur to the image with a radius equal to 1/3 of the value you remember. Set the blending mode to Lighten and the Opacity to about 40%.
Step 6
While holding down the alt="Image" key, click on the layers panel Add layer mask - an inverted mask will be superimposed on the layer. Use a soft white brush to paint over the skin in the image, without touching the clear contours - lips, nose, eyes. This step is needed to hide skin problems and, at the same time, not to make it "plastic".
Step 7
One of the signs of aging is the overhanging of the upper eyelids over the eyes due to the laxity of the skin. This defect can be removed using the Liquify option from the Filter menu. Protect the iris with a mask using the Freeze Mask Tool. Select the Push Left Tool and move the cursor counterclockwise to lift the upper eyelids in the image.
Step 8
Duplicate this layer. You can try to thicken the model's hair. Select the Clon Stamp Tool from the toolbar. It works in much the same way as the Healing Brush. While holding down the alt="Image" key, take a sample from the area where the hair looks thick and well-groomed. Move the cursor over the problem area and move the mouse in the direction of hair growth. The drawing will change to the reference.
