How is my sking softening? (Hot girl inside)

[eric-holmes]

Just wanted to get a little non-biased input on how this skin softening came out. I am trying out some new tutorials and I thought it worked pretty good. Thoughts?

Smoothing looks really good, not over the top but I will say I think the whites of the eyes might be a tad bright.

Looks like frequency separation if I am not mistaken. I like that technique most of the time. I think here she MAY have benefited from a little less texture on the skin

Looks good though

Good job on not making her look plastic!

nice job. but any chance of fixing that dark spot around her hair? really distracted by that...

I think its good but their might be a TAD bit too much clarity though. I think softening her face a wee bit more would put the icing on the cake..

Looks good. Eyes look fine to me. Still shows texture on the skin. :thumbup:

Question: it doesn't really look like you softened... it just looks like you spot healed. Am I right? If not, what did you do? Just curious.

Spot healing was a first but I did a bit more than just spot healing. It's a combination of surface blur and high pass to bring the detail back. I may have brought back too much detail as stated previously but I cannot stand plastic skin. I wanted to be far away from that while still have a smooth skin with pores.

Wow... i enjoyed looking through those. Do you have any more? The faux makeup is great. Do you just use a feathered brush in overlay and paint it on?

It is like Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe. It is a secret. LOL. To be honest with you I learned it only by messing around on photoshop. I never saw a tutorial or learned it from anyone. I learned it by a mistake.
