I was at work, literally typing into the YouTube search bar for tips on retouching and this man posts this video. I felt like it was specifically for me lol. Thank you!!! 💕

I will write the steps for you. 1. Duplicate the background layer twice, name the bottom "Color" and turn off the top.
2. Convert the "Color" layer to a smart filter, then apply the Noise > Median filter to smooth out the skin, adjusting it until it's balanced.
3. Create a new layer for texture, set mode to Overlay, fill with 50% gray, and convert for smart filters.
4. Add Noise (around 30%, uniform, monochromatic), then add Gaussian Blur (around 1.8) for a realistic skin texture.
5. Turn on the top layer, apply a High Pass filter with the same radius as Gaussian Blur (1.8), set blending mode to Linear Light, and group all layers.
6. Refine with Blend If sliders to protect highlights and shadows, then apply a black mask.
7. Use a soft brush to paint over areas where you want to apply the effect; adjust layer opacities if needed.
8. Record these steps as an action with a shortcut for faster future retouching. Adjust settings per image as needed.
Thank me later

On top of the skin retouch you threw in a class on how to create actions, just like nothing happened. You’re the only one true master 🙌

It amazes me how you develop such simple yet powerful techniques. Your PiXimperfect Pro course is incredible and worth every penny. No wonder they call you the Photoshop GOAT.

I’m obsessed with actions and variables and scripts in illustrator - this is a great use of actions in psd!!

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to teaching. As a wedding and portrait photographer, I’ve learned almost everything I know from your videos. You have a unique way of explaining complex topics with both humor and passion, and I truly appreciate it!
