Thanks for the tips Dan, I have a question if you mind: “Would you be going to make another tutorial discussing the subtle way you changed the tone of the girls skin color without damaging the highlights coming from the light source of the image?” I was trying to go ahead on the tutorial and the only way I can go near your method is to use the selective color option to change the skin tone color. Looking forward to your succeeding tutorials on this topic! Thanks a lot!

No problem Lloyd! There are a few problems with healing and patch on a regular flat image, although they are fantastic tools when used on high frequency texture detail, and even then it’s better to stick to the regular healing brush instead of spot healing, it’s better to trust your own judgement than Photoshop’s spot healing algorithm.

I’ll discuss splitting frequencies in a later tutorial

Thanks for the tip on blemish removal. I usually use the spot healing or patch tool but I’ll give this a try!

FINALLY… A proper professional re-touching tutorial which doesn’t create plastic-looking images. I already know how to surface-blur a whole face, as most tutorials suggest, and it’s not pretty! Good little tip with the different blend modes for light/dark blemishes.

Looking forward to part-2 onwards.
