This series of photos is a demonstration of how I turned a class mates skin more clear for a magazine cover, this actual image I'm not going to use. I had to choose a picture where you can see the poser's face clearly, this being easier to work with. From there a series of processes are made, which feature the use of multiple duplicate layers, and also some layer features.
The steps:
1. Go onto photoshop once selecting the perfect image, and then duplicate the layer. The duplication is thanks to the original image not being ruined, it's also better to make a few copies in case of any technical faults and difficulties.
2. Go onto the item named 'Spot Healing Brush Tool' and use the cursor to click on any spots or blemishes which feature on the person's face. This will make the area look clear.
3. From there, you take the quick selection tool and completely select the skin and also any other limbs which feature in the image. This being because if the face is edited, and other limbs which are showing aren't. It will look false, and incredibly obvious that photoshop has been used.
4. After selecting all the skin, move on to click the tab named layer, and copy the chosen selected area. During this point, you also create a new layer.5. After the creation of the new layer, click onto it, and remove the "eye" from the other slides, so then the new layer is the only one you can see. After this is done, go onto the layer tab once again and click paste. This will leave you with just the skin and any other parts of the body which are revealed. Duplicate the layer twice.
6. The next step is to take the eraser tool, and remove the eyes and also the mouth (this including the lips). Take caution is what you do remove, and also take your time with this step.
7. Once that is done, you then click the "eye" on the duplicate layer of the original image. From there move the cursor up to click onto the layer tab once again, then onto 'layer style', and then click onto the 'blending options'. Once the little window has opened, move onto the drop down menu which says 'normal' and look for a section saying 'hard light'. Click that option, and then click okay. The person in the image will then look bright orange, which isn't unusal. Just mess around with the opacity of the layer. A normal setting for this being around 46%.
8. After the previous point has been done, then click onto the seperate skin copy. Go onto the blending options once again, go to the drop down tab which says 'normal' and then scroll down to click 'lighten' and then mess around with the opacity of the effect. A roughly getting opacity setting ranges from 70% to 73%.
9. From here click on the second copy of your skin layer, then open up the blending options window once again, then onto the drop down menu and select 'Linear Dodge (Add)' before messing around with the opacity once again. For my attempt setting the opacity of the layer to 2% was enough. Once that is done, your image is complete and looking airbrushed and perfect for whatever you're using the image for.
