Fashion skin retouching in Aftershoot
AfterShootDemo summary
The video shows a more aggressive retouching workflow for a fashion edit, including maxing out blemish removal and adjusting skin smoothing masks.
Step-by-step
- Increase the Blemish Removal slider to the maximum setting.
- Adjust the Teeth whitening slider to the desired level.
- Set the Skin Smoothing slider to 50.
- Inspect the edges of the nose, lips, and eyes for blur spillage.
- Lower the opacity of the skin smoothing if the bridge of the nose loses definition.
- Manually remove masking on the nose if the effect is too aggressive.
- Click Save mask.
Options
- Use Face Brighten to adjust lighting on the subject
- Adjust Wrinkles and Smile lines sliders
- Toggle Remove Shine
Watch out for
- Skin smoothing can cause the bridge of the nose to blend together and lose detail if set too high.
Tips
- Blemish removal alone is often sufficient for a great edit without additional smoothing.
- Ensure lines on the face, such as the edges of the nose and lips, do not have any blur on them.
- Try to get lighting right in-camera rather than relying on the Face Brighten tool.
Highlights
“most of the time you can just use blemish removal and it will do a great job of editing someone's skin”
