Final effect

1, copy the background layer, in the copy of the shadow part of the selection, please note here do not feather, and then use the curve to light up to the normal complexion.

2, now want to skin grafting, in the need to repair the next color texture near the skin, make a selection, and feather 3-5 pixels, the selected parts copied to a separate layer, and moved to the need for skin grafts.

3, with the rubber rub off the edge of the blunt, so that the selected skin and the original skin natural fusion, each step after the skin grafting layer is merged into the background copy layer. The hair part is also the same method to complete, this step needs to be patient and careful. In fact, I did not do well, more coarse, careful you must be better than I do.

4, the next grinding skin, there are many ways to grind the skin, here I will introduce my method in this example. This method can better absorb different skin tones and create skin textures. Copy the skin graft layer completed in the previous step, perform > Filter > High Contrast retention, value 5.

5, Ctrl+i reversed-phase High contrast layer, the adjustment layer opacity 50%, layer blending mode for linear light.

6, filter > Blur > Gaussian blur, this step is to create skin texture, the larger the number, the deeper the texture, my value is 1.

7, to create a layer mask for high contrast layer, and reverse, hide the layer under the black Mask, with a white brush to wipe out the parts that need to be rubbed. Note that after the completion of this step, you can adjust the opacity of the layer according to the specific situation to control the strength of the skin, I use about 45% transparency.

8, after the skin is finished, there are still a lot of problems, such as the circled part of the picture, there are red or yellow problems, this part to make a soft selection, and then use the hue saturation and curve fine-tuning, or using the optional color fine-tuning, a lot of methods. In the end, let the color of the same, at the same time the eyes of the people also have a little problem. Use the Liquefaction tool to pull the eyelid part of the left hand so that it matches the shape of the right eye.

9, this step is to choose to do content, for the characters face plus light and shadow effect, make it more stereoscopic. Stamp the layer, and then create a new layer, press SHIFT+F5 to pull up the fill layer, select 50% Gray, and set the layer blending mode to soft light.

10, the use of Dodge and deepen tools, set the transparency of the 5-10%, according to the distribution of facial shadow further enhance the effect. After this step of processing, the characters appear to be some flat face presents a three-dimensional sense.
