Skin Retouching in PhotoshopIn this course students will learn to apply advanced skin retouching techniques for advertising and fashion-related industries.

There are many ways to retouch skin in Photoshop, some more advanced than others. Each technique will give us different results. It’s important to know where the image will be published and which retouching style should be used. For example, if we retouch skin for a food ad, perhaps the client wants something natural with minimal retouching. If we retouch skin for the cosmetic industry, it is likely to require different techniques to create an appearance of porcelain like skin while keeping the texture as well.

Styles for Fashion and AdsIn this chapter, students will learn the different styles that can be applied to an image. We will learn various blend modes, effects and processes to give us different styles and art direction on a project.

Depending on the product or the end use of the image, we can apply different styles to a photo. If we retouch a model for the fashion industry, the retouching style may be very different from one project to another as referenced above.
