Give Portrait Photos the Spa Treatment
This tutorial is courtesy of the Russell Brown Show.
I’m a believer in subtle, gentle portrait retouching. In this how-to, I’ll show you how to downplay wrinkles, brighten teeth, and give someone a more even complexion — as if they’ve been to a really good spa.
Some of the retouching tools you’ll use are layer masks, blend modes in the Layers panel, and the Clone Stamp tool.
