Retouching for Diverse Skin Tones in Photoshop

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this course. Thank you so much for taking part and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project by applying the skills you've practised in the course tasks. I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are the five main steps to follow: The Workspace Set up your workspace in Photoshop so it is optimised for the skin retouching methods. The Image Choose the image you want to retouch and consider the approach you need to take, then process it in Adobe Camera Raw.

The Healing Tools Remove any blemishes, bumps, and hairs using the healing tools. The Dodge and Burn Method Retouch the skin by applying the dodge and burn method. Remember to home in on the details first before zooming out and editing the image as a whole. Colour Correction Soften any textured areas if need be and apply colour correction. And that's all! I can't wait to see the project you come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on 'Create your project'. Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there!”
