The basic steps of retouching:
Step 1: Use a patch brush to modify the skin.
Step 2: Use liquefaction to adjust the facial features of the model.
The third step: local treatment of makeup.
Step 4: Light and shadow shape the outline of facial bones.
Step 5: Make the photos more charming.
Step 6: Redefine the main color.
1. Use the spot repair brush to treat the skin.
In the process of processing, the local area of the skin should be enlarged to at least 5 times of the original image, so as to visually see the defects and unclean things on the skin. We can adjust the stain repair brush to a suitable size and decorate it by dot method.
2. Sort out the facial features of the model by liquefaction.
In the whole plastic surgery process, we should pay attention to several details, such as eyes, nose bridge, mouth contour and so on. In general, the liquefaction value should be adjusted. The size of the brush depends on the different parts of liquefaction. The recommended brush density for facial plastic surgery is below 20 and the recommended brush pressure is below 10, which is more controllable.
3, the handling of makeup details, such as lipstick, eye shadow and other details.
Here is an example of red lips. Makeup artists will inevitably be less perfect when painting red lips. As a post-retoucher, we should use our technology to make up for these effects that could not be achieved in the early stage. You can use the imitation stamp to reshape the mouth shape and get the perfect red lip effect.
4. Shape the outline of facial features and facial bones with light and shadow.
Use curves to brighten the original image. The principle of brightening is that highlights and bright parts should achieve light and shadow effect, and then use curves to darken the original image to the boundary between light and shadow and dark parts to achieve light and shadow effect. At the same time, create a mask and gradually erase the light and shadow details with a brush. This step is also a decisive step, and the retoucher should fully understand the combination of three major faces and five tones in painting, that is, facial contour and bone structure. This stage is also the longest one in the whole process. If you really can't understand it, the retoucher suggests reading books on sketching to get to know the colors and light and shadow. At the same time, the comparison of the renderings before and after light and shadow is attached.
5. Simple processing with Gaussian blur.
Half-embracing and half-covering is an implicit beauty of our China culture. First of all, the first layer is a stamp, and the new layer is a fuzzy Gaussian blur. Use the mask at the same time, and then use the brush tool to erase the desired hazy effect.
6. The last step before the end of color matching, this time with a one-step curve.
Adjust the red, green, blue and RGB channels respectively. The specific adjustment range is shown in the figure. Finally, cut the map and call it a day.
