How Much Are Dam Trols Worth

How to make this Photoshop photo editor



editing program used: Photoshop 8.0.1

First choose a picture you want to retouch. Each image is treated differently according to their quality, lighting, color, etc. but in short the procedure I use to touch up wrinkles, skin texture and other, often this.

For this tutorial use & eacuteC Invert the layer mask (Ctrl + I

) Now is not at all what we just did, go back and see only the original image. Select a soft round brush to paint on the mask and to discover areas of this layer we focus. The brush size will depend on your image. I for this, I used a 35px brush Sizeand

of white in order to discover the areas that interest me.



Click on the mask in your layers palette and go paint over your image in order to discover the areas you want to retouch. The opacity of the brush depends on your taste andwe are also discovering areas. I use 100% opacity on the cheeks, for example, but if I approach to areas such as the mouth or nose, ground down the opacity and brush size. Try the best results for you to you. Reduce the opacity of this layer between the
75% and 80%

, to your taste.
We will look like this:


see, we have done away with the freckles on his face and we have substantially relaxed the skin texture. We can go now eyes a little tweaking.
Create a new layer (Ctrl + Shift +
N
)

Apply to this layer blend mode Overlay

, opacity 50%

Choose a soft round brush, the size depends on your image. Expand your image with the zoom to be more precise. For my image
brush size I used is
5px . Paint over the iris of the eyes with white on the areas you want to clarify and black on the areas you want to add depth.


Now create a new layer (Ctrl + Shift +

N), blend mode to Soft Light
. Paint again with a soft brush as your image size (for my 9px ) in white on white lyou eyes.
Reduce the opacity of this layer to 50%


Our retouching goes well at the moment:




TRICK!


If we refine the shadow of the eyes, the gleam of her hair, etc. we would also like this. Creating layers in soft light and overlay and blend mode and paint in white or black with soft brushes to accentuate and highlight certain areas, get fantastic effects. Use your creativity to apply these tricks at your tweaks!
