Photo Retouching
GASP! (*me in total shock)...teehee! I made a very productive discovery today. I stumbled upon a photoshop tutorial and its REEEAAAALLLLLY interesting. I was like yo! this is really dopey...I get to retouch my photos and put some kutzpah on my gorgeous self. If you peeps got a very BAD picture with those hideous pimples, blemishes and scars on yah face? then...HAVE NO FEAR!!! Photo retouching is here to bust those icky, too mundane things on yah face. I will provide with instructions on how to do PHOTO RETOUCHING...Alrayteh then...Let's get this thing started.
1. Open the photo that you want to retouch...so in this case, I use my own picture as a sample...
2. From the toolbar, select the history brush. Duplicate the photo. Make sure the original is untouched...I prefer it that way.
3. After that, you go to the filter menu, drag the cursor to noise then under noise choose median.
4. When the median dialog box shows up, drag the the slider until you see the picture goes soft. The photo will look blurry but we will do something about that later on so its no biggie. Set the radius to 20 pixels.
It will look something like this...
5. Go to the history palette (its on the actions window). Select the small square next to the median to set the history brush. After that, you go to the edit menu and click the "step backward". At this point, you are on the duplicate layer.
6. This is where the fun starts...you choose a medium, soft brush and then paint it all over the face...I tell yah guys, you will be giggling with excitement on what you are going to see...teehee! be careful not to include the edges of the face parts such as nose, mouth, eyes and head.
You can resize your brush size, change the mode and opacity when you feel like it...just be smart with your options :D
OKAY! for the results...

AFTER
See the difference??!! wahahahahhaha! lemme know if you guys tried this effect on photoshop...weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
