In this Photoshop tutorial, the author Kevin Roodhorst shares the professional way to soften skin for high-end retouching. The tutorial focuses on the technique of frequency separation, which is a widely used method in the world of photo editing.
The author explains that frequency separation involves separating the image into two layers: the high-frequency layer, which contains the details and textures, and the low-frequency layer, which contains the overall color and tone. By working on these layers independently, the editor can effectively smooth the skin without losing the natural texture and details.
The tutorial also introduces the Mixer Brush, a powerful tool in Photoshop that allows the user to blend and mix colors seamlessly. The author demonstrates how to use the Mixer Brush in conjunction with the frequency separation technique to achieve a natural and flawless skin retouch.
