I'm looking to buy a book which will take me through advanced image retouching for portraits. Specifically I'd like to learn how to retouch skin. At the moment I'm trying to get my head around using curves layers to dodge and burn tiny tiny details away at 400% I feel there must be better ways without resorting to blur filters. Any advice?

nonanone posted:Don't have a book to recommend, but with skin, just patch tool+careful application of masked blur filters works wonders for me. I've done a small writeup of my own process here if you're interested: http://winniejeng.com/blog/2010/12/editing-skin-in-photographs/ Cheers, I'll give it a read.

I was wondering if I could have some opinions on the post processing that went into this editorial, specifically the colours. http://www.fashiongonerogue.com/lily-donaldson-pale-beauty-numero-134-ben-hassett/ I realize a lot of the look is achieved with makeup and styling, and this is being complimented by the post work but I'd like to try and understand what more went into it, if you think much did. I'm thinking some de-saturation and lightening in appropriate areas but I don't know if that's an oversimplification.

Paragon8 posted:there's a million ways to do anything with post. Masking sections, playing with opacity etc. Aye, I've been having a bit of a play around with various adjustments, masks and blending modes. Trying to increase my creative PS skills as it's something I've never been particularly top at but I'm using it for less creative stuff a lot at work now. So I figured starting to try and replicate looks would be a good place to start.

rear end is my canvas posted:If you are trying to duplicate the skin (though it is most likely a make-up effect), you can try stacking a selective color layer and and tug and pull the red and yellows. Stack an additional selective color layer and do the same but set this one to a luminosity blend. Cheers, I'll have a play with that. I think it's probs a mix of makeup and post but It's a nice exercise to see how far I can get just with post.

CarrotFlowers posted:Scott Kelby's book Professional Portrait Retouching Techniques for Photographers using Photoshop runs through something that looks fairly similar for desaturating and blending the skin tones. Though I've never gone for that look, the book is really handy if you do a lot of portrait work. Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out! Portraits are mostly what I'm interested in for my personal work.
