Retouching can be intimidating, let me show you really how easy it is in a minute 🤷🏾‍♂️✍🏾

FIRST THINGS FIRST

Get you a retouching packs it doesn’t have to be mine honestly they all do the same thing but if you want mine the link is in my bio 🖤✍🏾

 (all of my brush settings will be included in the pack) 

1. Drop your raw photo into photoshop and it should open up CAMERA RAW. That’s where you’ll tweak your exposure on the photo. 

2. Open your ADVANCE FREQUENCY SEPARATION action and head over to the high layer with your clone stamp tool and remove all the blemishes you see. MAKE SURE YOU ZOOM IN, the more you zoom in the better so you can really maintain the skin texture. Use the LOW layer with the mixer brush to blend the shadows and the highlights and other areas that may need blending like makeup and what not.

3. Open your GLOBAL DODGE AND BURN action and use the regular brush at about 2% Flow and just burn the shadows and dodge the highlights (draw over them to your liking) 

4. Make a new layer of the photo with everything in it and then just use the BASIC FREQUENCY SEPARATION action to blend a little more if needed. (If it’s messing up just change the name of everything the AFS folder and try to use it again)

5. Add alittle bit of noise to give off more skin texture, and then add your favorite type of black and white!
