Manipulation of skin

Manipulation of skin
 The steps I took to manipulate the skin
and make it look like it has an
airbrushed effect on it.

Duplicate
layer by
clicking
layer, duplica
te layer

Select the
area you
would like
to fix. Such
as a face
blemish.

This slide
shows the
blemish
gone after
being
fixed.

Select
the Quick
Selection
Tool

Using the +
and – tools
at the top
left
bar, select
and
deselect the
area you
want to
manipulate.

Create a
new layer
via copy
of the skin
selected.

Once the
layer is
created, turn
the other
layers ‘eyes’
off to see the
selected area.

Duplicate
this layer
X2 so
there is
three
open
available.

Click
filter, blur
and add
Gaussian
Blur on
layer 1

Click on the
first layer
that you
created
(Layer 1)

Change the
radium to
approximately
2.2 pixels
then click ok.

This layer
should now
seem more
blurry than the
last.

Turn the
background
copy layer
back on to
see the face
as a whole.

Click
layer, layer
style, blendin
g options to
change the
style of the
layer.

Change the
blend mode
from normal to
Hard Light
then click Ok.

This is the
effect that you
will get on the
image once the
hard light has
been selected.i

Turn the opacity down
to approximately 36%.
This will then show in
the image. The image
should still look
slightly orange.

For the second
time go to the
layer
style, blending
options.

Click on the
second layer.

Repeat changing
the blend mode but
this time set it to
Lighten.

Again there
is a
difference
within the
image as the
orange is
now lighter
on the skin
tone.

Turn the
opacity down to
approximately
75%

Repeat clicking
the blending
options.

Click the last
and final layer.

Change the
blend mode.
This time to
Linear Dodge (
add)

This layer
could look very
extreme once
the linear
dodge is
clicked. This is
normal.

Turn the opacity
down as far as
you need to to
correct the skin
colour.

Before And After Manipulation

As you can see
the skin
manipulation is
fairly clear as it
looks smoother
and the
blemishes have
now appeared
gone.
