The basics of airbrushing.

We’ve all got that picture that looks sooo good, but you had a big old zit and some sunburn on face to ruin it all, here is your solution AIRBRUSHING WITH PHOTOSHOP.

COPYRIGHTED IMAGE

Step 1: you should know if you’ve read any of my previous tutorials you should know that after your image is open in Photoshop, duplicate you background layer. First we start with the zits, moles ect. So go on and select your “Patch Tool” and make a little selection around for example a mole, after you selected it click on the selected area and drag it to a piece of clear skin. Do it to all the blemishes.

Step 2: next we will start to make the skin look flawless, go to Filter – Blur – Gaussian Blur, set the radius to a setting that will make the skin look creamish, I used 5.3px. apply it and again go to Filter – Noise – Dust & Scratches. Put a radius of 9px and the threshold at 35 levels or so.

Step 3: add a mask to your layer and fill it with black, select your brush and use a soft round brush to color in the area of the face, be sure not to go over the lips or eyes. If you are sure you’re not going to edit the mask layer again, you right click on it and click on “Apply Mask”. Decrease the layer opacity to anywhere between 50% and 60%.

And that is about it. Stay tuned, please.
