70 Beauty-Retouching Photoshop Tutorials
Beauty retouching is probably one of the most
popular application areas in which Adobe Photoshop is used extensively.
There are two simple reasons for that. First, Photoshop offers a
variety of advanced tools to smooth out skin and hair, optimize body
proportions and emphasize some beautiful details. And second, if you
have some experience with Photoshop it is easy to learn the basics and
quickly produce very impressive and beautiful results.
Of course, beauty-retouching is a quite deceptive art. The masters
of Photoshop create illusions which are hard to tell apart — unless you
have both a genuine photo and the final result in Photoshop and can
directly compare them. In fact, every day we consume perfectly
retouched stars and models online and offline which just look different
in the real life.
Still, it is not the reason to avoid learning advanced Photoshop techniques for beauty-retouching
and study examples of how it is done in practice. The list below
presents both image-tutorials as well as video-tutorials. Most examples
have a before-vs.-after-comparison and you can follow the modifications
with Photoshop step-by-step.
