Airbrush your Face Edit

Here's a nice edit to help you give your clients a smooth look.

Duplicate your layer to start.


Then on the duplicated layer, go to your filter menu, under other select High Pass and set it to aroun9-10.


Under your filter menu, go to Blur and select gaussian blur. Set that to about 1-2


Then under Image, go to adjustments and select invert. Then to your blend menu on your layers panel, and select linear light.


Create a layer mask at the bottom of your layer menu, select your brush tool and make sure your foreground color is set to black. Begin to brush the duplicate layer away around the eyes, nose, mouth, brows, ears and hair.


Set your brush to half opacity and brush away the background. Then once you've finished, reduce the overall opacity of the duplicate layer until it looks natural.


Then once you've finished, flatten your image and adjust the curves to give the image a pop of contrast.


And then you can get creative with your actions, other edits, what have you!
