Everyone wants to be radiant and flawless in their photographs. But in the face of today's ever-increasing resolution of digital SLR cameras, all our wrinkles and flaws have become hidden. Of course, we can also use the surround light and the reflector to reduce the shadow or the Flash control light position and other shooting techniques to properly weaken these flaws, but this will require a long study, but also need to buy additional equipment to make outstanding portrait works. In fact Photoshop also offers a range of retouching tools that can help us get the perfect portrait.

In this tutorial, we'll start by telling you how to use Adobe Camera Raw to adjust the tone and color of portrait photos to their best state, and then go into Photoshop to experience the respective roles of those powerful retouching tools.

Take a look at the picture before adjusting, although the picture is well exposed, but the overall tone is somewhat cold, the face light is rigid, lack of three-dimensional sense. In the first few steps in the tutorial, we will show you how to use Adobecamera raw to quickly remove the cold palette, restore the skin color, adjust the exposure, to create a healthy skin, the details of the outstanding portrait works.

After the raw adjustments are finished, we'll go into Photoshop to see how powerful retouching tools can help us quickly brighten our eyes, whiten our teeth, and help us get rid of nasty stains and wrinkles. Ready to hand portrait photos, and start learning with me.

1. Remove the color mask

We just use the white Balance tool to click in the white part of the left eye to quickly correct the slight chromatic aberration in the picture. Click on the right side of the white balance settings, color temperature changes to 5100, tonal change to-10, the screen color more natural and clear.

2. Restore the details of the dark part

Now the color and background colors seem normal, but we also want the details of the dark to be richer. Increase the exposure slider to +0.25, with the fill light set to 5. Next, reduce the brightness slider to 25 to properly crush the screen.

3. Improve tone and color

In order to make up for the defects caused by the bright shadow, we can set the sharpness to +25, improve the contrast, but at the same time does not affect the tone too much. After the adjustment, facial features are significantly more distinct. Finally, the natural saturation is raised to +30 to enhance the color appearance of the screen.

4. Open in Photoshop

Go to the Photoshop main interface, select menu item "Layer > Copy Layer" and click OK button. Use the shortcut key CTRL + + to enlarge the screen to 100%. You can see the magnification of the current file at the top of the file window.
