Workbook - Skin Retouching


Recommended Posts

I was hoping the workbook would go into a bit more detail.  For example page 271 introduces using Frequency Separation and says (for Radius) "a setting of 1.5 px is perfect as it pulls enough skin texture into the high frequency layer (detail) without pulling through too much of the tonal imperfections".  Another tutorial (video) suggests a setting of more like 8 px.  It would be great if some tutorial video would go into depth on this topic showing examples and explaining why different values might be choosen.

I tried "Adjusting Skin Tone" (pages 274 & 275) on one of my own photos and it "didn't work" (certainly it didn't have the effect I expected).  This needs a bit more explanation of what they are trying to achieve.  I was trying to smooth out some "blotchy" skin and thought this technique might work but it didn't.
