I think, as a tutorial, you should have made the skin darker instead of brightening it like those makeup ads. Because the purpose for this tutorial is to airbrush skin right? Not to make it brighter. Perhaps offer it as an additional step but don’t actually use it so that we can see the difference without the brightening in the final results.

Nice start but the flesh is too “rangy”. She has a big red splotch in her forehead. Examine the alpha channels. Many high end clients don’t want china dolls. Some wrinkles need to be there, but just subdue them. Flesh is very hard to do and takes a great deal of time. There really is no blanket move. I felt the noise layer turned to 50% helped the flesh look better. Dont forget the hair edge as well.

This may be useful for people who don’t want it to look that perfect and want it more natural:
I find that in step 13, if you use the green channel instead of the red, it looks more natural and less airbrushed. But you start seeing pimples and some wrinkles.

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I’ve tried airbrushing so many times and failed, this is by far the best tutorial I have found online! THANKS!

I didnt really like it. The skin still looks very fake in my opinion.

Guess what. It still looks plastic and blurred. Sorry, but real skin still looks better and the sooner idiots in the magazine and fashion industry realise this, the sooner insecure women will stop trying to live up to impossible standards.

I personally think the end result in this tutorial really looks fake and not good at all. But if you do some small changes along the way, and take down the opacity in the end result, I got a totaly different look. So I’m super happy with this guide. Saves me hours with the clone stamp and patch tool.

Thanks!

Very nice tutorial, never done photoshop before and I managed to improve the skin quality on two drunk bastards. (don’t ask me who they are) the change isn’t dramatic but more suddle, making it look even more realistic. I might not have used exact tutorial settings, but it is definently a good starting point as a beginner to the program.
Very nice 5 stars or whatever they are called here

What I have noticed, is that it will work deferentially on deferent skin tone. However, if you do bit of a change according to what your image needs while you are working on it, then you will get almost 100% result of the effort has been made. I personally appreciate & liked it. Many thanks for your time.

i really don’t get the persons who say they can’t put layers in to groups, they don’t have smart blur or something else because they use ps 7.0, i use it, and i can do all that och i have all the tools o;
the result was really nice(!), even if i had some trouble understanding all the tools from the eginning because i use photoshop with another language (swedish)
thx for a great tutorial

Its all worked fine until it gets to the 50% grey scale + then later when i turn it back to a skin tone - i cant see the image at all, and when i try to apply image all i get is a screen of blockcolour because of the greyscale, and iv followed your instructions through thoroughly. so why hasnt it worked?!

Vici - #25 - Make sure you adjust to ‘Hard Light’ next to the Opacity level on the top. This will solve your problem.

Horrible tutorial. Several step left out…
1)How was the skin lightened?
2)Where did the mask from the group come from?
…. just to name a few!!!

I hate to say it, but parts of it still look far too smooth for being natural. This tutorial is slightly similar to one on Photoshop Tutorial’s website, but their’s is more realistic. If anyone wants that tutorial, look it up there.

#33. May 17th, 2008, at 6:52 AM.

Thanks You Very Much I learn a lot to this tutorial but i make a little change to what you have done.. i apply the apply image to the texture layer rander than to the Group it self hehehehe.. then I find it more realistic.. but i think i always defend on the person editing the image..
Thank YOu Again.. Nice tutorial

Here’s a hot tip for everyone saying it’s too fake….noone said you had to do it by the book! Learning the concepts and then playing around with the settings gave me a great natural finish, thanks so much, this is just what i was looking for.

Nice tutorial. I work with photoshop everyday and have learnt something new from this. Ignore the comments above that say it doesn’t work or there are steps missing…..it does and there aren’t. These people do not understand photoshop and are using it incorrectly.

#42. July 31st, 2008, at 11:29 PM.

i can’t do step 11, it keeps on saying thAT i could not use the history brush because the history state does noty contain a corresponding layer. did i missed a step or that i did something wrong?
