Required software: PS

Method of retouching: high and low frequency

Step1:lightroom/camerrawbasic adjustment.

Before we open photos with PS, we usually make basic adjustments in Lightroom or Camera RAW. Including: color difference, lens correction, exposure, contrast, black and white, highlight shadow, saturation clarity, etc.

Step 2: Fix the defect.

After the basic adjustment, enter PS for local adjustment. Commonly used tools are stain repair brush, repair brush and repair tool. The use method of stain repair brush is the simplest, and it can be used to smear dirty spots only by adjusting the brush size, which is often used to modify point defects. The repair brush needs to hold down the ALT key, click the left mouse button on the clean skin, and then smear the dirty spots. This tool is mainly used to deal with large linear defects, such as broken hair. The repair tool first closes the defects and then drags them to a clean area. This tool is usually used to deal with large defects.

Step 3: Adjust the skin brightness.

The most commonly used methods of skin shadow are hyperbola and high and low frequency. Hyperbola needs to see two curve layers, namely the bright part and the dark part, and then use the brush tool to manually find the bright part and the dark part to smear, which is relatively complicated.
