Photo Retouching, what was used here?

Post Wed Jun 04, 2008 3:46 pm


Hi There,

I found these before and after images on a Photoshop Retouching site. This web site wants $200.00 for a DVD explaining how to do the retouch. That is just a little steep for my wallet at the moment so I though I would see if any fellow PBasers might know if there is a filter/plug-in that changed the skin tones. I pretty much have a handle on things like the eyes and getting rid of the elbow scar. I just need to figure out the skin.

Thanks for any help...

I may be missing something, but the photo on the right looks as if it has been partially desaturated. I suppose a light layer of blue or gray might have been blended in, something down at 5 or 10%. You certainly don't need a $200 DVD to get the same look, just a photo editor that enables you to play around with saturation. On PaintShop Pro, for example, it's simply a matter of pulling down one adjustment slider. And you can get PaintShop Pro for a fraction of $200.

Soenda nailed it, add some sharpening and it's finished.

simple.

Copy the 'Subject image' in new layer (select and press Ctrl + j)
add new layer similar to 'subject' size, fill white, style/mode colour, opacity 65
goto subject layer, do some contrasting (+15)

DONE !!

I hope this will work for you.
