Want to easily create a look at the age of the pink apple muscle, is no longer a celebrity patent! Using surface blur and color fast filter can be done quickly!

STEP1

First of all, the texture of the skin to grind flat, so that the skin looks smooth and incomparable characters. Photoshop provides a practical filter, "surface blur," which is the most basic tool for rubbing skin, while retaining the edges of the characters.

Select "Filter → blur → surface blur" from the main menu to open the Surface Blur dialog box.

The critical value is set to 10 critical levels to cover the entire skin color range. Strength can refer to the above thumbnail to do the setting, the higher the intensity of the erasure of the more details, in this case the intensity is set to 5 pixels. When you have finished setting, press the OK key.

All the fine lines are gone, but the sharpness of the facial features has not been affected by the surface blur effect.

STEP2

Then the shadows and edges of the characters will be Halo, plus the dim effect. Press the CTRL+J key to copy a background layer "layer 1".

Choose filter → other → color fast from the main menu.

When the Color-fast dialog box is turned on, the strength is pulled to a maximum of 250 pixels.

Then hold down the left mouse button and drag the intensity slider until the character looks like a stroke chart. This example is set to 14.8 pixels, the set is finished press the OK key.

Color quickly after the residue of some color, press the fast key Shift+ctrl+u key, or from the main menu select "image → adjust → remove saturation", the residual color removal.

Get a full grayscale layer.

STEP3

The current Layer 1 contrast is not strong enough to be slightly strengthened. Select "image → adjust → color" from the main menu.

Press Next to the "automatic" button, so that the program automatically pull the color order, to enhance the contrast.

After the contrast is enhanced, layer 1 looks a lot clearer.

STEP4

Next, we'll apply the finished layer effect to the background layer.

Move to the layers panel to change the blending mode of layer 1 to "split".

At this point the picture looks like it's covered in a halo.

Because the halo effect is too strong, to adjust the opacity of Layer 1, set the opacity to 15%. When you are done, you can see that the edges and shadows of the characters are added with a halo effect.

Finally, select "Layer → image flatness" from the main menu to merge the layers and save the disk.
