Skin smoothing - Tutorial

From RealWorld Wiki

This tutorial shows the basic skin smoothing technique using the ALPHA_BRUSH tool in RealWorld Photos. Other RealWorld applications can be used as well, but the ALPHA_BRUSH tool must be added to the configuration manually.

Smoothing tips:

• Do not overdo it with skin smoothing, overly smooth skin looks unnatural.
• The technique with two layers, the lower being blurred can be modified for other retouching tasks. Try for example boosting red in the lower layer to simulate cheek blushing makeup.
• Remove hair or other imperfections prior to smoothing skin using the clone tool.
