How to make skin smoother especially you have a wonderful shot but something was missing from perfection. In fact, it had been a while I wanted to try out this effect in PS (Adobe Photoshop).
Found a lot of steps from tutorials that teaching how to smoother skin in PS; yet I found one which is much simple and quick way to create smoother and younger skin.
Firstly, duplicate the same image in another layer; then create the effect of “Surface Blur” from PS filter > Blur; and depend on how much Radius (here I have used 20 pixels) and Threshold at 12-15 levels.
Secondly, use effect of “Smart Blur” from PS filter > Blur; with Threshold 100, for quality select on “High”, for Radius will be depending on results. If too much pixels selected then it will be looked too fake. But I have used 1.1 pixels.
Once have done on the effects, go back “Layers” and change the “Opacity” to 60% - 70%. Of coz it’s not done yet, there’s some manual work to be done. Use Eraser Tools to brush out the none-skin area such as her eyes, hair and background etc. About 2-3 minutes of brushing and erasing and finally the master-piece has completed.
Another smoother exercise for my son’s face… look more baby face (Right) now!
