SkinRetouching

High-end portrait retouching using frequency separation and dodge-and-burn — texture preserved, distraction removed, skin still looking like skin.

TOOLS
Adobe Photoshop
TYPOGRAPHY
Minimal sans captioning so the imagery leads
PALETTE

Goals

  • Clean the frame without plastic smoothing
  • Keep natural skin texture intact
  • Match tone and contrast across a full set

Process

Frequency separation for blemish work, dodge-and-burn for form and light, then global colour grading and selective sharpening.

Results

  • Editorial-grade portraits ready for print and campaign use
  • A repeatable retouch pipeline across the whole set
