Beauty Portraits: Portrait Retouching - Zec@Work Style

[Zeckson Chow]

OK, thank you so much. I think I got to us the healing brush to lighten the under eyes. Really looking forward to see more of your works and sharing tips.

Okies. Good luck. And thanks for helping to mediate in my the other thread.

Thank you very much for the write up Zeckson. Perfect for ID-10-Ts like myself when it comes to potrait editing..
But a question, do you really have to edit her eyes that much? Or is it due to her insistance?

P.S: No doubt the editing brought out the "blemish" free looks in her. But i prefer her natural looks more...hahah

Post processing is entirely up to the individual. What works for you may not work for others. If you like to leave a little blemish on the skin, you can as long as you can accept it and your model likes it. For me, I like super clean look with texture on the skin. To some, my style of post processing does not work for them, but that is okay lah. As long as I like it and my model likes it, everything else is not important. For most of the modern high end fashion/glamour retouching works, the skin is super cleansed and smoothed leaving only minor textures.

your tutorial is good. Can i up you?

Thanks!

Hi Zeckson,


Thanks for sharing. This is very useful. One thing I want to check.. can share what tools do you use to do PP besides Photoshop CS2? do you use an ordinary mouse?

Just purely good old Photoshop CS2 and my mouse. No other special hardware added. But I am thinking of getting a tablet for future edits... Sure makes things easier.
