Beginners Photoshop tutorial

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.
