Facial scrub for even, glowing skin: Photoshop retouching

[djfai69]

amazing



[02fnky4u]

brilliant  love it :)

[lizainuk]

this is great tutorial! Using this technique is quite time saving as well!! thank you for sharing!

[dezinavagina]

lol you have to actually select the picture layer not a new layer to copy the red channel. 

[alabamadeafrider]

Great Video! I used a very similar technique on images for REDBOOK covers when clients wanted a mild clean up with no "Glamor" or facial corrections. This technique surpasses the one used by a good 25% increase in simplicity! Thanks for helping improve on my Knowledge base! Great Stuff.

[KamillaSun]

I'm working as a model, and sometimes I'm not satisfy with the photographer photo's retouching. Now I can do better job then they are)))) Thank you very much for sharing your skills. You are the best! Under your directions everything in photoshop are so simple. And I like your voice, it's very soothing and you have pretty accent..)))) Sorry for grammar mistake. Eng is my second language.

[zmrj3000]

love ur tutorial .. THANK you so much !! 

[frodo322]

I'm using photoshop elements 8.0. I can't see the channels palette. It's not under windows. Is it available?

[MellowJelly]

@frodo322 I don't think it's in elements. I have elements 5.0 and photoshop CS3. It's in CS3.

[cannywok]

A simple and effective way to do this. Thanks for sharing.

Keep up the good work

[LouisHeath5318]

lovely video! :) did you know you can get beautiful makeup from Rimmel to test before you buy from Gratis Makeup Samples

[Transsive]

Works great!

[chingadamadre2006]

not able to paste the red layer? don't forget to make a copy of your background as a first step, right clik on the backgroud and click duplicate layer, then just follow the video's instructions

[CrushaRoo]

mine doesn't have the channels thing, how do you get it up?

[walawalawala1]

This is awesome, thanks a bunch!

[galat1a]

thank you for sharing!!!!!

[79niklas]

Lovely tutorial, thanks! Love it :D

Apart from the great result, (and no critique meant here) the only small [possibly]negative thing I find is that the skintone always seems to end up slightly lighter than the original using this technique. The person will always end up looking a little paler. It might not be preferred if the person is pale to start out wiht. Apart from that small pointer, great work!!

[hekk666]

@79niklas: This can always be fixed after the skin has been cleared by doing hue/colour adjustments

[orcamum]

A lovely tutorial!Thanks!

[theannanas79]

thanks for sharing!

[bm2ai]

[mome1a]

Try creating a new layer and then pasting the red one into it.

[Svenny86]

This helped me remove the redness of the skin in a picture :) nice tutorial.

[bobbymak880]

Top Quality Tutorial.

[Orazio1977]

great tutorial

[shoegal1655]

This is soooo great. I totally agree with

aznjonnyforlife, it is sooo much easier than the gaussian blur. Thanks!

[RiseInGirl]

i have adobe CS4 but it WONT let me copy the red channel to a new layer, is there any way?!?!? :(

[RiseInGirl]

nvmm!

[majoxt]

I can'r copy it either, says it's empty!

[aznjonnyforlife]

Omg so much easier and better looking than the gaussaian blur technique!

[ETFBMTHLUVER]

How can you SLIGHTLY correct an OBVIOUS blemish :p btw im a nutball

[GiiZm0o]

WOW. This technique is flawless IMO if you know what you are doing. Thanks a lot.

[melcom72]

Great Tuts! I too was frustrated not being able to copy the red channel. Here are the steps:

Copy background layer>click on channel( if channel not showing, on menu bar >windows>channel)>In Channel, click on Red (click on Right of thumbnail - it turns blue);on menu bar, click Select>all; on menu bar click Edit>copy; in Channel, click RGB (all, to the Right of thumbnails, turn blue); Click Layers; create new layer; menu bar, select>deselect, menu bar>edit>paste. Done! Hope this helps

[SweetAzumi]

Thank you sooo much!

[purepinoii]

@melcom72 thank you, i was having the same prob

[MzPrissyDeeDee]

@melcom72 Thank you. Your explanation was much better than the original version.

[kspeacht]

@melcom72 Thank you! I was frustrated too, couldn't figure out how I was not getting the channel to copy over. You saved me hours of frustration. :D

[Flintymeat]

Thank you!

[olivesky88]

How do you view your Red, Blue, and Green channels in Black and White? I see mine in those colors.

[Shereeeeeeeeeeeee]

windows - channel

[Dinkodawg]

I don't see the channels panel on CS4....Help somebody

[iammannie]

try going to Windows and select Channels in the drop down list? it should appear on the right bottom corner

[Shereeeeeeeeeeeee]

at the top

windows - channel

[MercurialSound]

I don't think that this technique works particularly well if the skin area is already correctly exposed. It can result in overexposure & a loss of tonality in the face area.

[ThaFunkFanatic]

Interesting!!!!

[aukdude]

Awesome! Thanks very much, excellent technique, much less time consuming than gaussian blur methods.

[Rapistpsycho]

Wow, this tutorial is brilliant!

Way better than the other tutorials I have watched for this subject around here on youtube, this looks so much better and natural.

[honeysmile320]

Which photoshop did you use sweetie?

[Sk8ErGaL85]

Thanks for this, im only young and only just got photoshop and dint kno how to use it until i watched neally all your videos . you are a great help :) thanks heaps!

[ranash1995]

Already done. Go to my channel and check the videos or do a search on YouTube for

ranash1995 makeup

[SarliNightSister]

I love it, you should do some on how to apply make up

[YoshikoKanna]

Cleared explained!!! U're a good teacher ^  ^

[mrjimmytwoshoes]

Nice technique. Although its made the image I was using slightly noisy/grainy.

[PicturePerfection123]

Your tutorial was SO helpful.

I've been trying to figure how to do this forever.

I swear I almost cried when I found this.

(:

[Blackwish92]

she looks like Katey Sagal

[cheerchic82]

Great tutorial! It's a HUGE help!

[mythicaljw]

is he toxic cookie ? he sounds like him

[1glep1gle]

HEY, Re luminosity Mask remember to switch back to the layers pallet in order to throw down the luminosity mask. I missed this a couple of times.

[1glep1gle]

Cool Vid. HEY people who can`t copy paste the red channel. Try this.. Just before you click paste 1, go to select 2,click deselect 3, then click paste. Hope this helps.  ranash1995 your tutorials are a big help Please keep it going.

[ranash1995]

Ok folks, I am removing ALL comments of the "I can't copy and paste the red channel" variety. I have made it clear that this is an ADVANCED technique and you need to be competent with channels and layer technique before you can expect to use it. I have at last count answered this question over 16 times and I am saying "The END" as of now, my life is too short!

[mashiky]

thank you. my first work i done with your lesson

[katiedmb12345]

To everyone having trouble pasting the red channel layer:

Make Sure None of Layers Are Selected Before Pasting!!!

If any layers of selecting, the red channel layer will not paste.

[iSirux]

thanks dude!

[gbhcr007]

i don;t have a channels pallet

D:

[pixiesiren]

This is one of the best tutorials EVER :D I use it all of the time. Thank you!

[Instantkarmah]

thank you SO much!

[palirandi]

Thanks. But I don´'t have problems copying the channel. What I couldn't do was to make the luminosity mask to work on it.

[palirandi]

HEY, thanks for the vid, it´s awesome!!!

I have a problem, I can´t make the luminosity mask!!!

So the first part worked perfect, but I'm stuck there,..

[ranash1995]

Take a look at the high rez version of the tutorial on the tutorialbucket.googlepages. com website. Copying the channel is a bit fussy sometimes, so I use the actual Edit>copy menu to be absolutely certain that it grabs it correctly rather than a keyboard shortcut. If it doesn't work, let me know and I'll post you a step by step!

[Teraprinny]

@ranash1995 Ok dude I know said your deleting any comment towards the same question but I see you never replied those who used Cs4.

[Luvablebubbles]

wow...kool Thanks

[KelseyIstRad]

Fabulous.:)

[coochi6]

whoa thanks!

[demoniacgoththing]

woah nice one ^^ It works a charm =3 thanks so much

[LiMechanique]

I'm using photoshop cs3. The thing is, I paste the red channel. But I don't get a black and white layer. What should I do?

[LiMechanique]

I got it. I had to deselect :)

[iceis06]

you are by far the most helpful person in all of the photoshop tutorials that i have come across thank you very much your efforts are extremely appreciated

[SadInLoveMCR]

URGH

[Roryanimefan805]

[esme376]

[tirathmistry]

[Trondhk]

Excellent. I've veen looking for a vid that explained this in detail and not showed a speedy vid of someone doing it. Thank you!

[Eatahoho]

[kingsagun]

[gladesille]

Thanks

Just what i´ve been looking for. Fantastic!

[platinumjem]

Hi, i tried the steps to create a luminosity filter, seems like my Red channel is quite 'noisy' . After creating the filter and changing blend mode to Lumin, i can see noise appearing on the face of subject .. is this normal ? cos the final product still has these noise in there. I tried this with a number of images but still the same.

Perhaps you can help me out here.

Thx.

[marudell]

[BrandonNickel1]

[LoveSculpture]

Youa re great. Fantastic, excelent explanation. Thank you

[franciskamichael]

k cool,wil try that,or just save up to get the new photoshop CS3,have to keep up to date if i wanna make this a job one day. are you currently employed as a photographer?

[jennyMCRth]

Thank you so much!!

[franciskamichael]

heya,i like your vids,their realy good,but the problem is,im using photoshop elements 5.0

have you got any tips for me,cause i cant find the channels u using,does that even exist on elements? ive always had that problem with the reddening on the cheeks,but i work my way around it,but your way is so easy and would realy like to do it that way.please let me know if u have any ideas,cheers,thanx for the vids

[ranash1995]

Sorry, can't really tell you a thing about Elements 5.0 :( I'm pretty sure that channels is only available on Photoshop the full version. There should be a color balance tool in Elements that will let you take out the red!

[federicopyramid]

super!!

[YourTwistedShell]

amazing.

learnt alot!

thankyou!

[mariahcarey1982]

Your good, your a really good teacher, i'm learning heaps from you!! keep up the good work :)

[tunakola]

thanks it's really useful!

[pietravis]

how do i get to the channels?

[ranash1995]

From the Photoshop menus:

Window>Channels

[gachan89]

hi!

that is really cool!

but control + t doesn't work here!

maybe because I have a german keyboard.

is there an onother way to do it, maybe with photoshop and not with the keyboard??

[gachan89]

and there comes the hand when i click ctrl + T. and it doesn't go away this hand. i must than close photoshop and restart it T__T

why?

[ranash1995]

Short and easy explaination. I dont use Ctrl + T in this tutorial! That is the shortcut for the free transform tool. I DID use Ctrl + Click to choose the luminosity values of the RGB thumbnail... if this is not what you mean, tell the time point at which I said what you want explained!

[xrmanningx]

what program did you use to record your tutorial?

[bundyspirit]

Mec, big up from paris, you're the best!!! thank you!!!!!!!!!
