High-End Skin Retouch with Dodge & Burn in Photoshop

Learn How to Perform High-End Dodging and Burning for Skin Retouching in Photoshop! Explore the industry-standard technique used in beauty, fashion, and commercial retouching. We will use extensive dodge and burn to get the most realistic skin texture and soft, flawless skin at the same time. If you have the time, this technique is better than frequency separation, as it creates high-quality results.
In this tutorial, we will start by removing the blemishes. Then, we will use the power of Curves Adjustment Layers to perform dodging and burning. We will also learn to use blend modes to fix the colors of the skin.
I hope this tutorial helps you. Thank you for watching :)

Thank you for showcasing this. The more people understand the amount of work it takes, the more people can understand good results take time. You rock bro :)

Also so funny how every time you think the video is over, it's still at 50%. He always goes the extra mile to perfect it.

[@MD-cu6wq]

We live in amazing times where the knowledge is so easily accessible. Thank you for all your efforts, I have edited one of my studio shots using 3 of your tutorials (Frequency separation, color shift and dodge and burn themes) and the results are unbeatable. I used lightroom for a long time delaying my move to PS but I am hooked now!
Amazing tutor, thank you from London.

[@benzikmultimedia4673]

I have highly waited and expected this video. God bless you Unmesh

[@iiimik3]

geeze, I've always known that there's no way I will ever know everything about retouching, but you make it seem like eventually I just might! haha, thanks so much for this once again. Seriously you don't know how much your videos help!

[@MrApaca]

Best tutorials on CZcams currently. Thanks for sharing!

[@user-ui8nj6ck2u]

Щиро дякую за такий урок! Цей спосіб обробки крутий і дуже якісний.

[@cmptrman]

I am so glad that you aren't afraid to show people that quality results take time and talent to do and there isn't always a cookie-cutter way of making an image look really great. I mean, I love time-saving tricks, but I'm sick of seeing people ruin good photos by making the subject's skin look like orange peels with frequency separation. Keep pumping out amazing content m'friend!

[@staggerindan16]

Daniel O'Brien do u mind elaborating on this? i just learned about frequency separation today. by orange peels, do you mean.. the texture is too perfect and uniform? if i can be aware of common mistakes before i make them myself i’m all about it.. much appreciated!

[@Julian-es7dg]

As someone who has just recently discovered this technique with you, I am so grateful you exist !! I feel like my quality of work has skyrocketed somewhat as I could never figure out how to do these types of effects on skin. Thank you sooo much!!!! ❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁

[@nikkodelapena5233]

i love how simplified and well explained your step by step process. and the recap at the end of the video is a major bonus !! great job brother

[@demirakulusmultimedia5556]

Your ability to teach is just exceptional. Your tutorial video has helped equip me a lot. You make this dodge and burn very simple and fun having it done. Many thanks!

[@eileenkelly5265]

I’m really glad I found you!! You are sharing great tools and techniques. Thank you. I really appreciate how you highlight (darken the screen and encircle) the tools you are taking about - it helps me a great deal. Hopefully you’re enjoying your day.

[@brucecooper8559]

Love the helper, blur & colour fix layers! Adding the contrast curves layer will help me more than the usual brightness/contrast layer I was using with the solid colour layer!
Instead of playing with the points in the helper curve layer couldn't you just lower opacity of it down to 70%
Great video as all of yours are! 🙌🏻
