hi this is Marty from Blue Lightning TV
0:00:12.490,0:00:19.110
I'm going to show you how to create
0:00:14.410,0:00:19.110
smooth blemish free skin from a photo
0:00:19.530,0:00:25.570
this is an update of a tutorial I did on
0:00:22.840,0:00:27.940
an earlier version of Photoshop open a
0:00:25.570,0:00:31.060
photo you'd like to retouch I downloaded
0:00:27.940,0:00:32.829
this one from shutterstock.com the first
0:00:31.060,0:00:35.170
step is to make a selection of your
0:00:32.829,0:00:36.940
subject skin there are many ways to do
0:00:35.170,0:00:39.520
this so choose the method that works
0:00:36.940,0:00:42.820
best for you for example you could use
0:00:39.520,0:00:46.870
your quick selection tool and drag over
0:00:42.820,0:00:49.540
the skin to select it to remove areas of
0:00:46.870,0:00:53.760
the selection press and hold alt or
0:00:49.540,0:00:53.760
option as you drag over it
0:00:59.170,0:01:01.230
you
0:01:01.270,0:01:05.970
go to select and refine edge
0:01:05.990,0:01:10.610
I did an in-depth tutorial on refine
0:01:08.299,0:01:14.360
edge so I won't be going over all the
0:01:10.610,0:01:18.440
details here check smart radius and
0:01:14.360,0:01:20.450
increase the radius a little bit brush
0:01:18.440,0:01:23.080
over the areas where the hair overlaps
0:01:20.450,0:01:23.080
the skin
0:01:23.670,0:01:29.090
and output it as a new layer with layer
0:01:26.549,0:01:29.090
masks
0:01:32.530,0:01:38.080
click the box next to your original
0:01:34.570,0:01:43.360
photo to make it visible and go to
0:01:38.080,0:01:46.540
filter blur and surface blur
0:01:43.360,0:01:50.410
for this image I'll make the radius 16
0:01:46.540,0:01:51.790
and the threshold 12 levels however you
0:01:50.410,0:01:54.130
may want to adjust these amounts
0:01:51.790,0:01:56.530
depending on the size and resolution of
0:01:54.130,0:01:59.140
your photo choose a combination that
0:01:56.530,0:02:01.900
smooths out the skin just enough to hide
0:01:59.140,0:02:04.000
most blemishes and imperfections don't
0:02:01.900,0:02:05.320
be concerned about its texture yet we'll
0:02:04.000,0:02:07.960
take care of that in a minute
0:02:05.320,0:02:09.670
next we'll restore back the areas of the
0:02:07.960,0:02:13.390
face that we don't want smoothed out
0:02:09.670,0:02:15.400
such as the eyes eyebrows and lips to do
0:02:13.390,0:02:20.620
this click the layer mask to make it
0:02:15.400,0:02:23.380
active and open your brush tool and your
0:02:20.620,0:02:26.650
brush picker will take care of the size
0:02:23.380,0:02:30.160
in a moment make the hardness 0% and the
0:02:26.650,0:02:33.240
opacity and flow a hundred percent then
0:02:30.160,0:02:33.240
press Enter or return
0:02:33.890,0:02:39.110
to make your brush larger or smaller
0:02:36.160,0:02:41.340
press the right or left bracket key on
0:02:39.110,0:02:43.980
your keyboard
0:02:41.340,0:02:46.380
brush over any areas you want to reveal
0:02:43.980,0:02:48.900
back the original unretouched photo and
0:02:46.380,0:02:51.870
adjust the brush size accordingly I'll
0:02:48.900,0:02:54.230
brush inside the eyebrows eyes and
0:02:51.870,0:02:54.230
eyelids
0:02:55.470,0:02:58.340
lips
0:02:59.880,0:03:04.400
and fine hair overlapping the foreign
0:03:05.590,0:03:10.599
if you have areas of the face where the
0:03:07.930,0:03:12.340
skin pores didn't smooth over let's blur
0:03:10.599,0:03:16.630
them a bit so they'll blend into the
0:03:12.340,0:03:20.410
face make the face layer active
0:03:16.630,0:03:24.070
and open your blur tool make it strength
0:03:20.410,0:03:28.740
100% and adjust its size accordingly
0:03:24.070,0:03:28.740
brush over those areas to blend them in
0:03:28.810,0:03:36.819
next we'll remove any spots left on the
0:03:32.170,0:03:39.959
face open your Spot Healing Brush make
0:03:36.819,0:03:42.490
sure the content-aware button is active
0:03:39.959,0:03:44.319
adjust the size of your tool a bit
0:03:42.490,0:03:47.260
larger than the blemish and brush over
0:03:44.319,0:03:49.930
it continue until all the blemishes
0:03:47.260,0:03:52.380
scars and other imperfections are
0:03:49.930,0:03:52.380
removed
0:03:55.540,0:04:02.660
when you're done go to filter noise and
0:03:59.819,0:04:06.640
add noise
0:04:02.660,0:04:09.080
tick Gaussian and check monochromatic
0:04:06.640,0:04:11.240
drag the slider to an amount that
0:04:09.080,0:04:13.460
results with the grain that matches the
0:04:11.240,0:04:15.320
rest of your image I'm using an amount
0:04:13.460,0:04:17.420
of approximately one and a half percent
0:04:15.320,0:04:19.430
however your image may require a
0:04:17.420,0:04:21.940
different amount depending on its size
0:04:19.430,0:04:21.940
and resolution

Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.
0:00:12.860,0:00:17.400
I'm going to show you how to create
smooth, blemish-free skin from a photo.
0:00:20.360,0:00:24.720
This isn't update of a tutorial I did on an earlier version of Photoshop.
0:00:25.260,0:00:27.180
Open a photo you'd like to retouch.
0:00:27.380,0:00:30.240
I downloaded this one from Shutterstock.com.
0:00:30.720,0:00:34.020
The first step is to make a selection of
your subject's skin.
0:00:34.180,0:00:37.980
There are many ways to do this, so choose the method that works best for you.
0:00:38.180,0:00:41.180
For example, you could use your Quick Selection tool
0:00:42.350,0:00:44.330
and drag over the skin to select it.
0:00:45.840,0:00:51.780
To remove areas at the selection, press
and hold Alt or Option as you drag over it.
0:01:01.710,0:01:04.630
Go to Select and Refine Edge.
0:01:06.430,0:01:11.650
I did an in-depth tutorial on Refine Edge, so I won't be going over all the details here.
0:01:12.710,0:01:16.850
Check Smart Radius and increase the Radius a little bit.
0:01:18.300,0:01:21.380
Brush over the areas where the hair overlaps the skin
0:01:24.140,0:01:27.460
and output it as a "New Layer with Layer Mask".
0:01:32.920,0:01:36.360
Click the box next to your original photo to make it visible
0:01:37.740,0:01:42.460
and go to Filter, Blur and Surface Blur.
0:01:43.939,0:01:46.909
For this image, I'll make the Radius: 16
0:01:47.180,0:01:50.260
and the Threshold: 12 levels, however,
0:01:50.380,0:01:54.080
you may want to adjust these amounts
depending on the size and resolution
0:01:54.080,0:01:58.140
of your photo. Choose a combination
that smooths out the skin
0:01:58.140,0:02:01.200
just enough to hide most blemishes and imperfections.
0:02:01.720,0:02:05.300
Don't be concerned about its texture yet.
We'll take care that in a minute.
0:02:05.580,0:02:09.940
Next, we'll restore back the areas of
the face that we don't want smoothed out,
0:02:09.940,0:02:12.760
such as the eyes, eyebrows and lips.
0:02:13.060,0:02:16.060
To do this, click the Layer Mask to make it active
0:02:17.379,0:02:18.879
and open your Brush tool
0:02:20.360,0:02:21.440
and your Brush Picker.
0:02:22.170,0:02:26.450
We'll take care of the size in a moment.
Make the Hardness: 0%
0:02:27.180,0:02:31.740
and the Opacity and Flow: 100%. Than, press Enter or Return.
0:02:34.340,0:02:39.820
To make your brush larger or smaller, press the right or left bracket key on your keyboard.
0:02:41.879,0:02:46.219
Brush over any areas you want to reveal back the original unretouched photo
0:02:46.580,0:02:48.680
and adjust the brush size accordingly.
0:02:49.100,0:02:52.800
I'll brush inside the eyebrows, eyes and eye lids
0:02:56.000,0:02:56.740
lips
0:03:00.340,0:03:02.460
and fine hair overlapping the forehead.
0:03:06.040,0:03:09.820
If you have areas of the face where the
skin pores didn't smooth over,
0:03:10.020,0:03:12.900
let's blur them a bit, so they'll blend into the face.
0:03:13.819,0:03:15.479
Make the face layer active
0:03:17.160,0:03:18.720
and open your Blur tool.
0:03:19.670,0:03:21.550
Make its Strength: 100%
0:03:22.500,0:03:26.820
and adjust its size accordingly. Brush over those areas to blend them in.
0:03:29.300,0:03:32.820
Next, we'll remove any spots left on the face.
0:03:33.840,0:03:35.820
Open your Spot Healing Brush.
0:03:36.580,0:03:39.260
Make sure the Content Aware button is active.
0:03:40.540,0:03:44.620
Adjust the size of your tool a bit larger than the blemish and brush over it.
0:03:45.370,0:03:50.470
Continue until all the blemishes, scars and other imperfections are removed.
0:03:55.890,0:04:01.670
When you're done, go to Filter, Noise and "Add Noise".
0:04:03.180,0:04:06.440
Tick "Gaussian" and check "Monochromatic".
0:04:07.420,0:04:12.180
Drag the sider to an amount that results with the grain that matches the rest if your image.
0:04:12.390,0:04:16.280
I'm using an amount of approximately one
and a half percent, however,
0:04:16.280,0:04:20.500
your image may require a different
amount depending on its size and resolution.
0:04:27.380,0:04:29.580
This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.
