Very basic photoshop tutorial : How to do minor touch-up using photoshop CS

Have pimples? Fine lines or even uneven spots on your face? Here i am going to show you how to do touch-up using Adobe Photoshop CS

I am going to use a picture of myself as example.

Original picture

Now for a start please keep in mind that edit your picture at their highest resolution, then only edit the size later on, the effect is better. For example, my original picture size is 1536 pixel x 2048 pixel, resolution is 300 pixels/inch.

Now i’m going to show you how to start re-touching the face, you can clearly notice there is a pimple between my eyes, select eyedropper tool, click on the closest area to the pimple, but NOT ON the pimple.

You can see the swatch color change as you click on the particular area using eyedropper tool, after that select brush, the brush size is varries depends on the area. (im using basic brush)

I slightly air-brush the pimple area choosing closest color of my skintone.

I apply the same technic to smooth other areas on my skin, such as the fine lines under my eyes, cheeks, and chin, and even neck area.

Now for final finishing touches i always slightly adjust the brightness/contrast level of my photos, that depends on personal taste thou. I like my pictures brighter to make my skin looks fairer, so i brighten it.

Ok, i know most ladies’ reaction for crocs shoes would be *eww, so ugly looking ! how to wear out?* You are totally wrong ! 

Crocs, meaning Crocodiles, symbolises toughness and versatilities, they can survive on both water and land. That’s how the name come from. It is made in neither rubber or plastic, infact crocs are made of Proprietary Closed Cell Resion or (PCCR). PCCR is closed-cell in nature and anti-microbial, which virtually eliminates ordor. Originally crocs were designed for boating, but because of their comfort and durability, they are now being worn massively even by nurses or chefs. Now, men, women, teens, even children, are fascinated by crocs, they are widely available throughout US and UK, it wasn’t long before they reach our land, Malaysia, too !

Since most ladies doesn’t care about functions, let’s be shady and talks about the looks of these shoes. They are now available in different colours and designs. Besides the common crocs with holes on them (left), crocs manufacturers also released a series of feminine lady like looking crocs (right). Perfect for your lovely feet !

Ok this is the climax. Besides wearing the crocs, you can also add stuffies on them ! I’m talking about lovely crocs charms ! They are absolutely fabulous. Now we ladies like the bling bling right? You can add crystals on them, or butterfly, flower whatever that suits your personality, talk about being unique !

Your feet deserves the best, these crocs will be the best companion whenever you are shopping, i’m sure your feet will be doing the happy Mumble dance   once you put them on. Get yourself a pair today ! (oh btw, they didn’t pay me to do this, although i kinda wish they did :P)
