Ihave had quite a few people ask about my skin smoothing ways. Its really, really simple. I use Imaginomics Portraiture 2 and have figured out how to get it so it smooths the tones instead of all the texture. So if you use Portraiture, follow along and stop killing your textures!
What exactly do you do to retain texture? Your technique, so I full understand, is to make two skin softening layers via Portraiture 2. One for the highlights and one for the shadows? You thanked Lindsay, did she show you this? I was hoping to see somthing that retains all texture like a frequency separation but with portraiture.
Thomas, this does the same thing as frequency separation. Not quite as well though as its obviously not FS, but it does a pretty close job. No, Lindsay is the girl I shot in the image as I stated in the video.
Seriously you guys, grow up - he posted a great retouching video for everyone to enjoy and you rip him off about it ? Go troll elsewhere if youre going to be negative - I dont see any of you providing videos and features like he did. FFS this is where people need to grow up on the internet - this is a creative community yet you bag him out on the sound of his voice? Seriously what are we grade 4's ? Great video dude keep them coming I sure learned something from it!
Thanks for the tip. This is actually a real time saver for me. My last portrait shoot had images I retouched using this technique for proofs, and then the images that were purchased got the polished Photoshop treatment. Wonderful tip Chris!
This sucked. The guy not only ripped off Armenta's tut, but he stumbled all over it. Either be an informative site for serious photographers, or cram in all the junk that you can for hacks. This is probably the worst vid that I've ever seen on your site.
Thanks Phillip! :) I didn't realize that learning a program on your own and then sharing it was ripping people off. I guess exposing pictures properly is ripping the first photographer off too, and using photoshop to edit pictures and using portraiture to edit pictures. I guess everyone rips everyone off. I'll keep that in mind.
My opinion, it's not terrible if someone improve someone else's technique (adding something new, fix something that is wrong original author, etc. ..) Ok is that people who have not seen a tutorial by Sean Armenta see this tutorial, but note that your tutorial inspired by his tutorial.
I think there is some misunderstanding. This is a common technique that anyone who has extensive experience uses. After a while, it is just accepted as the way to do it. I think it is great that you linked to Sean Armenta's video (his fstoppers videos covered a lot of basics about two years ago), but this technique cannot really be credited to him or anyone else. It just is the way things are done.
Hadn't seen the layer output function before.. thanks.. BTW - on future tutorials try to keep your mouse movements less eratic.. as a viewer that's where my eyes follow and your mouse just about made me ill ;) Good info though.
Amenta's brief spell on Fstoppers produced some of the best videos around and still readily available on youtube under FstoppersPPT. I think it was obvious he wouldn't be sticking around here too long with that kind of talent. Good luck to him, i also believe he is now on the TV panel of Next top model Philippines, as well as a very accomplished professional photographer working out of LA.
