Smooth, healthy skin will make any person much more attractive. With the help of the graphic editor Adobe Photoshop, you can remove many of its flaws: wrinkles, irregularities and spots. At the same time, it is very important to stop in time so as not to turn a living face into a plastic mask.
Instructions
Step 1
Open the photo in Photoshop and copy the image to a new layer using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + J or by choosing the Duplicate Layer command from the Layer menu. Any correction is best done on a new layer so as not to spoil the result that suits you.
Step 2
Select the Healing Brush Tool from the Toolbox. Move the cursor over the healthy area of the skin and press alt="Image" and the left mouse button. The cursor changes to a telescopic sight: a cross in a circle. This means that the tool has taken a sample of the drawing and will consider it a reference.
Step 3
Now click on the problem area - it will be replaced by the image of healthy skin. Select the sample so that it does not differ too much in color and light from the area that you will be correcting. Process the entire image this way.
Step 4
Select the face and neck on the layer, i.e. areas that you will be retouching. This can be done using tools from the group L - Lasso Tool ("Lasso") or Lasso Magnetic Tool ("Magnetic lasso").
Step 5
It is also convenient to use quick mask editing. Press Q to switch to this mode and paint over the face and neck with a black brush, without touching the eyes, eyebrows and lips, i.e. sharp lines. The image will be covered with a translucent red film - a protective mask. A mistakenly applied mask can be removed with a white brush.
Step 6
Press Q again to return to normal mode. A selection appears around the face. It should be borne in mind that now the entire drawing is selected, except for the face - it is protected by a mask, which is not visible in normal mode. Invert the selection with the Shift + Ctrl + I hotkeys and press Ctrl + J to copy the face to a new layer.
Step 7
From the Filter menu, choose Gaussian Blur in the Blur group. Set the radius so that skin imperfections become invisible. In the same Filter menu in the Noise group, select the Add noise command. The radius value should be very small so that the skin does not look plastic. Lower the layer's opacity to about 50%
