Post-processing beauty-shots | Tuesdays With Lauri

In this week's instalment of 'Tuesdays With Lauri' we will talk about post-processing beauty-photography in PS. We will quickly go through skin retouching, using check-layers, dodging and burning, colour-grading and much more. :)

If you have any questions regarding this week's episode, or you'd like to suggest a theme for a future episode, please leave comment down below, and I'll do my best to help you out!

Hey! A good idea, I will do a more in-depth tutorial on those skin retouching techniques next week. :)

Thanks Lauri, looking forward to that! even if there's a hundred ways of doing that, it would be nice to learn a new and effective way!

[SpilledInkMedia]

Thanks. Very helpful. Though it seemed like some of the layers were just correcting problems introduced with earlier layers.

Can you tell me what was the blending mode on three texture layers? :) great video, beautifull picture :D

[ValtersPelns]

Great work! To make textures in background did You use some ready made brushes?

[iheartveronicamars]

Really looking forward to a more in depth tutorial on how you achieved all the effects using those layers!

[FrancescoMeloni]

Can you detail a little bit the process for the skin retouching you did to get rid of the texture (and then getting it back)? seems a bit like the "frequency separation" technique but non the same... also i didn't think it was possible "to fall in love" with a girl watching a tutorial until now :) anyways...nice work!

Thanks for the tutorial! In this case thought I think I actually prefer the completely unedited photo. Great shot.

Great tut. Please name your layers though...
