Photoshop Retouching Tutorials
Remove WrinklesIn order to create these retouches, I used the healing brush tool. I held down the "Alt" key on their area of the man's face that was not wrinkled. With that color selected, I covered up all the wrinkles on his face and lowered the opacity to about 55% or until it looked normal. An advantage to this tool is that it is quick and easy to use. A disadvantage is that it can make someones face look creepy and unnatural if you use too much of it and do not lower the opacity.
Whiten TeethIn order to create these retouches, I used the lasso tool to select the man's teeth. I then created a New Adjustment Layer and under the "Hue/Saturation", I changed the Yellow saturation to -100 and the master lightness to +25. I then made a new layer mask and filled it with black. i then painted the man's teeth white with a paintbrush.I lowered the opacity so the teeth still look natural. An advantage to this tool is that it is quick and simple. A disadvantage is that is can make your teeth look unnatural if the opacity is not lowered and results may not always be evident.
Lightening EyesIn order to create these retouches, I first created a New Adjustment Layer and chose levels. i changed the layer blend mode to screen and filled the layer mask with black. Using the brush tool, i painted white on the eyes and lowered the opacity to about 65%. An advantage to this tool is that it is easy to lighten the color of people's eyes. A disadvantage is that the color change is not always visible on light color eyes.

Remove BlemishesIn order to create these retouches, I used the spot healing tool. I would hold down my mouse and drag it over the blemishes. As I did this, the blemishes would blend in and fade away. An advantage to this tool is that it is quick and easy to use. A disadvantage is that is can make a person's skin look unnatural and a little distorted if you use too much.
Selecting HairIn order to create these retouches, I used the lasso tool to select the girl's hair and body. I selected slightly inside her hair leaving some curls out. I refined my edge and put the layer on the ocean layer. I increased the radius and painted the woman's hair to reveal more of her curls. I adjusted the Edge options and clicked on decontaminating colors to remove any fringing. An advantage to this tool is that it helps make the merging of two photos look more realistic and not photo shopped. A disadvantage is that is that it is difficult at first to understand and make it look realistic.
