Photoshop History Brush Grinding Tutorial

We have to face the model, it is impossible to have perfect skin, so the skin is the problem we all have to face.

Portrait grinding is a sad topic!

We have to face the model, it is impossible to have perfect skin, so the skin is the problem we all have to face. But when we touch the skin, we will think of many complicated words, Gauss blur, mask, transparency, too complex. These complex PS functions and pendants, for the master, is just a technical barrier. But for the rookie, it's a very, very sad topic.

But today's simple tutorial can make all this pain go away.

The bug tutorial has two features: 1, make sure you can finish three minutes (more than three minutes, too painful); 2, make sure you can finish it in a minute.

This is the preface, now start.

OK, let's start with PS to open the photo and then copy a layer.

The copy shortcut is Ctrl+j

Copy the layer, select the blending mode in the "filter", and then adjust the transparency next to it.

The process is actually to brighten up the photo.

When you are finished, merge the layers. The shortcut keys for merging layers are ctrl+e

The third step.

Into the filter "blur" Gaussian Blur

Then select a suitable parameter. The experience of this parameter is, if mm freckle more, choose 7~10, if mm originally very good skin, choose 3~4, other oneself more experiment.

Fourth step.

This is the key step in the history on the right, just this step, right click, then select "New Snapshot", and then confirm.

Speaking of which, I'll stop, the following is a discussion, not counted in three minutes.

We know why most tutorials have Gaussian blur and masks, or what they actually wear.

That is true. Your simplest way, in fact, is to duplicate a layer, and then the layer Gauss blur, while the layer is set to "color" blending mode, so that a fuzzy image superimposed on the original image. The advantage of this is simple and fast, but the disadvantage is that the eyes are also blurred.

Then think of the mask, the mask is actually a local layer, the shape of the layer you decide. So we do a mask, the area of the mask is a defective skin part, and then only for this part to overlay the Gaussian blur layer.

And what we're going to do next is a very clever and concise alternative.

Fifth step.

This is the least thing to do.

Roll up the history record, find the snapshot, and click on the left.

People familiar with PS understand that we are in fact the Gaussian blur layer, set to the "history brush" target coating.

Sixth step

Then roll down the history record, drag the last record with the mouse, and restore the record to the previous step.

Seventh step.

This step is the only one to work on.

On the left side of the toolbar, select the History Brush tool, and then select the appropriate size on top, with transparency selected below 50%.

Then start rubbing skin on the screen.

I don't know reader understand. We are actually in this picture, "partial" "degree" of the restoration of that Gaussian blur layer.

The "local" here is the part that you smear, this is precisely the scope of the mask to choose, and this "degree" is our choice of transparency, this is the mask to be set, the difference is, in this way than the mask more fun, faster, more convenient. KAO, it's like some kind of ad.

The polished photos can be sharpened to set the image into lab mode.

Then select the Brightness channel

Then set the image back to RGB mode

It's done.
