Photoshop CS5.5 Tutorial – How To Retouch the Neck

  • Sharebar

Learn More about this at www.theartofretouching.com In this video I’m going to be doing one of the hardest retouching parts of the human anatomy, which is going to be the neck, chin, and general jowl area. The reason that it’s so difficult is that there is a gradient that runs underneath the chin from a dark to a light. You have creases, and texture shift, and there’s all different sorts of things going on. So, it makes it incredibly difficult to do a satisfactory retouching where you can’t tell that anything was done. I picked this image because it wasn’t overly complicated, and because I only have the 15 minutes in this video with which to do this. As you can see we have a chin, a cheek, and a neck. Basically I need to get rid of this ring around his under chin, as well as clean up some of these extra creases in the neck. So, let’s get started. What I’m going to do to start with is, I’m going to zoom in under here. I’m going to create a new layer. I’m going to go to the stamp tool, then I’m going to begin trying to soften this area under the chin. I’m not going to go in with 100% opacity. I’m going to bring that down. We’ll start with 25%, because I’m not looking to completely remove any shift in color or gradient that’s going on. All I’m really trying to do is get rid of that dark ring. Now one of the things that you need to keep in mind is that you do have a variety of brush sizes that you can use. You don’t always need to use a tiny brush, you don’t always need to

    I think this was like the first or second video I ever did, so I am sure it is filled with issues. Both technical, and creative. I plan to revisit this topic in the future. A year later, I can do the work more seemlessly as well, by using other tools and techniques.

    I am having a hard time following you. I create a new layer and it is an empty layer and using the clone tool, you have to sample part of the image don’t you to clone it? I have having a hard time doing what you are showing in the beginning. Could you explain further? THank you!!

    I am pretty sure the types of advanced techniques you are looking for can be found on my website. YouTube will not let give a direct link, but it’s my name dot com.

    If you only were only playing around with Photoshop why did you have to record it? Ever heard of liquify? The skin texture doesn’t even look real that way. Thanks for wasting my time man. I was really hoping I could learn a technique or two from this video. I still have to commend you for trying to do this in detail though.
