Basic skin retouching using frequency separation and dodging & burning. I use this process on every photo that I do, and I usually spend about 4-5 minutes on headshots like this (and less time on full body shots when there is obviously less detail in the face). This is not intended to be a high-end retouching tutorial - but techniques that can help people who want to do natural-looking retouching while maintaining most of the natural skin texture!

Here is the final photo - http://www.flickr.com/photos/xosara/6122295521/

The final editing was done with one of my Photoshop actions, available at http://www.sarakiesling.com/actions :)

  • I have Photoshop Elements 10 and it doesn't give me the option to Apply Image. What now?

  • @lace1123 Get the full Adobe Photoshop ;) Unfortunately, with the cheaper price attached to Photoshop Elements comes limited things that can be done in the program.

  • Do you know how to do this on GIMP? It's similar to Photoshop but I can't do the apply image thing for the texture.

  • @InvisibleVoices16 I have never used GIMP before. However, if something like this can be done with GIMP, I'm sure there's a YouTube video about it somewhere ;)

  • this is a great tutorial i wanted to know what camera settings did you take the picture and what lense did you use?

  • @vikar15 Canon 5D Mark II, 85mm f/1.8. ISO200, f/2.5, 1/160. Natural light. :)
