Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,333 --> 00:00:04,333
Our next step will be the Dodge and Burn stage,
2
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:09,033
which involves smoothing out the transitions between highlights and shadows
3
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:12,433
to make them appear softer and create a smoother and more appealing
4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,366
skin texture.
5
00:00:14,366 --> 00:00:19,433
We will use a special layer for this, which we will create ourselves.
6
00:00:19,566 --> 00:00:20,933
It's very simple.
7
00:00:20,933 --> 00:00:23,633
And let me show you how
8
00:00:23,633 --> 00:00:28,466
we hold the alt key and click on the Create Layer icon.
9
00:00:28,533 --> 00:00:32,766
This will open a dialog box where we can name our new layer,
10
00:00:32,833 --> 00:00:36,200
Let's call it D and B.
11
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:39,966
We need to select the blending mode for this layer
12
00:00:40,033 --> 00:00:42,600
and it's very important to choose
13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,300
soft light mode
14
00:00:46,366 --> 00:00:49,400
and this will enable us to check the option
15
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:54,666
to fill the layer with a neutral color, which is 50% gray.
16
00:00:54,733 --> 00:01:01,966
Click okay and we have our doesn't burn layer right over here.
17
00:01:02,066 --> 00:01:04,166
That's essentially all we need to do
18
00:01:04,166 --> 00:01:08,333
to set up a dodge and burn layer for our photo.
19
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,766
We've just created a gray layer with the soft light blending mode on this layer.
20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,566
We will use a regular brush with
21
00:01:17,666 --> 00:01:22,433
simple settings and I will show you in a second.
22
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:27,300
So let's choose our brush to with B
23
00:01:27,366 --> 00:01:29,433
and go over here
24
00:01:29,433 --> 00:01:32,233
where we can see the settings for it.
25
00:01:32,233 --> 00:01:36,766
So we do have to uncheck all of the settings here.
26
00:01:36,766 --> 00:01:41,000
And the only thing that that's important is the spacing.
27
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:47,266
That should have 25% setting.
28
00:01:47,366 --> 00:01:50,266
Another thing that we need to check for
29
00:01:50,266 --> 00:01:55,400
the brush is its flow and opacity.
30
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:57,933
And let me explain the difference
31
00:01:57,933 --> 00:02:00,933
between these two right away.
32
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:07,533
These are two settings of our brush that affect how our strokes behave.
33
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,500
So let's enable the
34
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:12,500
view of only our gray layer
35
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:17,366
four demonstrate and purposes so we can see what I'm talking about.
36
00:02:17,433 --> 00:02:21,000
Hold the alt key and click on the icon
37
00:02:21,066 --> 00:02:24,000
next to the layer.
38
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,000
So when we have all the settings at 100%,
39
00:02:30,066 --> 00:02:33,533
we have our main color black.
40
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,900
So when we paint,
41
00:02:36,966 --> 00:02:41,566
we are painting in 100% black.
42
00:02:41,666 --> 00:02:47,033
Each stroke gives us 100% black
43
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:48,633
if we want to reduce
44
00:02:48,633 --> 00:02:51,333
the visibility of the brush
45
00:02:51,333 --> 00:02:53,466
using opacity.
46
00:02:53,466 --> 00:02:56,366
It works in such a way that when we paint
47
00:02:56,366 --> 00:02:58,733
with, let's say,
48
00:02:58,733 --> 00:03:03,200
10% opacity,
49
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:05,400
the area
50
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,966
won't darken more.
51
00:03:06,966 --> 00:03:11,333
If we paint with black, it will only apply the black color
52
00:03:11,333 --> 00:03:15,166
with 10% opacity
53
00:03:15,266 --> 00:03:19,733
only when we release the mouse or our stylus
54
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:23,333
and start painting again in the same spot,
55
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,566
it will darken by another 10%
56
00:03:27,633 --> 00:03:30,533
and another 10%.
57
00:03:30,533 --> 00:03:33,766
Each time we paint again in the same spot,
58
00:03:33,866 --> 00:03:37,466
it darkens that area
59
00:03:37,533 --> 00:03:40,900
with another 10%
60
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,366
and flow
61
00:03:43,366 --> 00:03:46,566
works slightly different.
62
00:03:46,633 --> 00:03:49,633
Flow works in a way that when we paint in one spot,
63
00:03:49,666 --> 00:03:52,666
the color keeps getting darker, as if
64
00:03:52,866 --> 00:03:55,433
layering on top of itself.
65
00:03:55,433 --> 00:03:59,566
So let's go back to 100% opacity and
66
00:03:59,666 --> 00:04:04,166
and see what 10% flow does
67
00:04:04,233 --> 00:04:06,233
when we draw
68
00:04:06,233 --> 00:04:08,766
in one spot, one place,
69
00:04:08,766 --> 00:04:13,000
as you can see, we can reach 100%
70
00:04:13,066 --> 00:04:18,066
black just by painting over in one place.
71
00:04:18,133 --> 00:04:22,900
It keeps darkening until it reaches 100%.
72
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,266
In the case of dodge and Burn, we want to use the flow
73
00:04:25,266 --> 00:04:29,700
setting while leaving opacity at 100%.
74
00:04:29,766 --> 00:04:33,100
It simply gives us control over how much we lighten or darken
75
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:40,100
a particular area by painting in that spot for a shorter or longer period,
76
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,266
setting the flow to 1% is the best option.
77
00:04:43,266 --> 00:04:45,166
In this case.
78
00:04:45,166 --> 00:04:48,500
Going higher in percentage would lighten or darken
79
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:53,266
the area too quickly.
80
00:04:53,366 --> 00:04:57,633
Let's undo those or maybe even
81
00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:00,333
delete the layer
82
00:05:00,333 --> 00:05:03,033
here we have our edits and let's create
83
00:05:03,033 --> 00:05:06,033
Dungeon Burn layer again,
84
00:05:06,133 --> 00:05:09,933
dodging burn mode, soft light
85
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,233
field with soft like neutral color.
86
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:15,600
There we go.
87
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,433
Next thing Sometimes with color photos, especially at the beginning,
88
00:05:19,433 --> 00:05:24,000
some people use various help layers to better see the differences
89
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,200
between shadows and highlights and their boundaries.
90
00:05:28,266 --> 00:05:32,233
Sometimes the eye can be deceived by color,
91
00:05:32,333 --> 00:05:35,800
and it's easier to see in black and white.
92
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:39,533
Personally, I recommend only saturating the photo
93
00:05:39,533 --> 00:05:44,200
rather than using special and very elaborate hope layers
94
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:46,766
that increase micro contrast
95
00:05:46,766 --> 00:05:50,466
as it often leads to excessive editing.
96
00:05:50,533 --> 00:05:57,600
When we see too much, we tend to edit too much and the result can be overdone.
97
00:05:57,666 --> 00:05:58,066
I think the
98
00:05:58,066 --> 00:06:01,600
most helpful approach is using a simple D saturation layer
99
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,500
as it trains our eye to see the photo as it is
100
00:06:05,633 --> 00:06:12,700
and learn to perceive the differences without relying on assistance.
101
00:06:12,766 --> 00:06:16,600
So we will create a whole player using an adjustment layer.
102
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:19,533
Let's enable the solid color adjustment layer
103
00:06:19,533 --> 00:06:24,000
and fill it with either black or white
104
00:06:24,066 --> 00:06:29,333
and set its blending mode to saturation
105
00:06:29,433 --> 00:06:31,000
and that's it.
106
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000
We simply converted our image to black and white.
107
00:06:34,100 --> 00:06:36,300
We can switch it off and on.
108
00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:40,700
And for some people this is very helpful and doesn't burn as it makes it easier
109
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:45,000
to see the differences in shadows and highlights.
110
00:06:45,066 --> 00:06:47,266
However, I still recommend practicing your eye
111
00:06:47,266 --> 00:06:50,266
on the color image itself.
112
00:06:50,266 --> 00:06:52,000
All right, let's get started.
113
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,600
Let's select our Dungeon Burn layer.
114
00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:58,466
We have our brush selected.
115
00:06:58,466 --> 00:07:03,133
We have opacity at 100% flow at 1%.
116
00:07:03,233 --> 00:07:06,033
We can see that we have some issues here
117
00:07:06,033 --> 00:07:11,866
and there are some stray hairs and there is a vein
118
00:07:11,966 --> 00:07:14,966
that will be brightening and smoothening
119
00:07:15,033 --> 00:07:18,033
to reduce those differences.
120
00:07:18,033 --> 00:07:22,800
I also recommend learning to work at a zoomed out view.
121
00:07:22,866 --> 00:07:25,800
I definitely don't encourage you to do
122
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,766
Doesn't burn at a close zoom level.
123
00:07:29,833 --> 00:07:32,366
Firstly, you'll end up spending too much time
124
00:07:32,366 --> 00:07:36,800
unnecessarily and secondly, you'll end up doing too much
125
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:40,500
because you'll see too many differences in shadows and highlights.
126
00:07:40,566 --> 00:07:43,800
So learn to work out an overall view
127
00:07:43,966 --> 00:07:46,966
where you can see the areas with evenness,
128
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:52,433
but avoid zooming in too close.
129
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:56,233
So I would do it like that.
130
00:07:56,333 --> 00:07:59,400
The foreground and background colors
131
00:07:59,466 --> 00:08:00,200
are black and
132
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:06,000
white, which you can always reset to default by pressing the D key
133
00:08:06,066 --> 00:08:10,900
and switch between them using the X key.
134
00:08:10,966 --> 00:08:12,066
So we use black
135
00:08:12,066 --> 00:08:15,600
if we want to darken certain areas
136
00:08:15,666 --> 00:08:18,100
like here, for example,
137
00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:28,566
we paint over those lighter areas
138
00:08:28,633 --> 00:08:29,866
on the skin.
139
00:08:29,866 --> 00:08:33,133
We switch to white if we want to
140
00:08:33,233 --> 00:08:41,833
brighten some dark spots,
141
00:08:41,933 --> 00:08:44,100
we paint over areas that appear too bright
142
00:08:44,100 --> 00:08:59,866
and stand out compared to their surroundings.
143
00:08:59,966 --> 00:09:03,300
Here's our vein so we can brighten it a bit
144
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,200
so it blends more with the rest of the skin
145
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:13,300
like so we can use larger brush for larger
146
00:09:13,366 --> 00:09:17,566
areas as well.
147
00:09:17,666 --> 00:09:20,066
Let's take a look from the distance here.
148
00:09:20,066 --> 00:09:25,833
We have a darker spot so we can brighten it a bit
149
00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:32,000
and we are making it a bit more smooth.
150
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:33,100
And the transitions
151
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:37,533
between light and shadows
152
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:48,200
should should be smoother as well.
153
00:09:48,266 --> 00:09:51,200
Let's see the before and after.
154
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:56,166
Okay, our forehead is looking a bit
155
00:09:56,233 --> 00:09:58,500
better now.
156
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:04,600
Let's darken this area a bit
157
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:09,800
light and here
158
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:17,933
let's fix the makeup a bit as well.
159
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,800
And we continue this process
160
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,866
switching between black and white to darken or lighten areas that are uneven
161
00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:28,866
so that the transitions between shadows and highlights are smoother.
162
00:10:28,933 --> 00:10:33,100
And at this point, I highly recommend using a stylus or pen
163
00:10:33,166 --> 00:10:36,433
for this work instead of a mouse.
164
00:10:36,533 --> 00:10:41,100
It will be much more comfortable, precise and efficient.
165
00:10:41,166 --> 00:10:42,866
Working with a stylus may require
166
00:10:42,866 --> 00:10:46,033
some practice at the beginning, but I guarantee that you won't
167
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:52,100
want to go back to using a mouse once you get used to it.
168
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,300
Another thing to remember is
169
00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:59,500
to not to focus solely on brightening or darkening.
170
00:10:59,566 --> 00:11:01,533
We switch between them quite often
171
00:11:01,533 --> 00:11:04,533
to achieve a more balanced result.
172
00:11:04,666 --> 00:11:07,100
Let's work on on this area for a bit.
173
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:10,100
For this light in those spots
174
00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:12,200
we change the brush size often
175
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,000
as well to match the spots that we are
176
00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:25,500
editing.
177
00:11:25,566 --> 00:11:27,800
I am brightening the dark spots now,
178
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:33,700
switching to black to darken them
179
00:11:33,766 --> 00:11:38,433
like so
180
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:40,466
we work with areas
181
00:11:40,466 --> 00:11:43,466
like consciously looking at the photo and
182
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,933
and looking where shadows and highlights should be.
183
00:11:48,033 --> 00:11:52,100
It's very easy to get lost in cleaning up those minor imperfections,
184
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,733
but if we are not careful, we may end up altering the shape
185
00:11:56,733 --> 00:12:02,100
of the shadows and highlights too much, making the face look natural.
186
00:12:02,166 --> 00:12:03,300
Okay, our forehead
187
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:07,433
already looks quite smooth, so we move on to the nose.
188
00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:11,900
There's a slightly dark area at the tip,
189
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,966
making it appear larger.
190
00:12:14,966 --> 00:12:17,000
So we work on balancing the light
191
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,100
and shadow.
192
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,933
We can darken this area
193
00:12:22,933 --> 00:12:26,900
here to make it look smaller as well.
194
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,633
There are some dark spots
195
00:12:29,633 --> 00:12:32,266
right here, so let's
196
00:12:32,266 --> 00:12:35,133
brighten them a bit
197
00:12:35,133 --> 00:12:37,733
like so here should be some shadows
198
00:12:37,733 --> 00:12:46,433
so we can work on it
199
00:12:46,500 --> 00:12:49,766
like that.
200
00:12:49,833 --> 00:12:53,133
See the before and after.
201
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,866
Okay.
202
00:12:54,866 --> 00:12:58,566
I really recommend stepping back and looking at the photo as a whole
203
00:12:58,566 --> 00:13:04,133
and practicing your eye to edit and work only on areas that really stand out
204
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:04,700
this way.
205
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:10,533
You won't overdo it and the result won't look like plastic skin
206
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,666
under the eye.
207
00:13:11,666 --> 00:13:13,833
There is a subtle shadow
208
00:13:13,833 --> 00:13:19,000
that's not too significant, so we can easily correct it from a distance
209
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:37,233
like that.
210
00:13:37,300 --> 00:13:38,266
I also recommend
211
00:13:38,266 --> 00:13:42,100
rotating your head and looking from a different angle
212
00:13:42,166 --> 00:13:46,333
because our eyes sometimes get too accustomed to viewing from one angle.
213
00:13:46,333 --> 00:13:51,333
And it's it's really good to change our perspective.
214
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:51,933
Okay.
215
00:13:51,933 --> 00:13:56,366
The eye looks alright to my taste.
216
00:13:56,433 --> 00:13:59,433
It's not overdone,
217
00:13:59,533 --> 00:14:02,933
but it's a bit more vivid.
218
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,900
Let's see the color version.
219
00:14:07,966 --> 00:14:08,300
Maybe.
220
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:12,666
Let's darken this spot a bit so it blends more
221
00:14:12,733 --> 00:14:15,466
with the rest.
222
00:14:15,466 --> 00:14:17,433
Okay,
223
00:14:17,433 --> 00:14:21,600
here's some shadow as well so we can brighten it a bit.
224
00:14:21,666 --> 00:14:23,533
See the before and after.
225
00:14:23,533 --> 00:14:25,366
Okay,
226
00:14:25,366 --> 00:14:28,233
let's move on to the cheek.
227
00:14:28,233 --> 00:14:31,433
We should have a nice
228
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:33,933
shadow here
229
00:14:33,933 --> 00:14:39,400
so we can work on it a bit with dark color
230
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:41,566
to blend more
231
00:14:41,566 --> 00:14:50,166
and to give it a nice shape.
232
00:14:50,233 --> 00:14:53,133
Darken this place as well
233
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,200
as it was standing out a bit too much.
234
00:14:57,300 --> 00:15:00,900
So that's blended a bit more.
235
00:15:00,966 --> 00:15:06,033
We have a dark spot here so we can lighten it
236
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:08,666
darken here.
237
00:15:08,666 --> 00:15:12,700
So we are switching between white and black very, very often.
238
00:15:12,866 --> 00:15:15,233
Work with the
239
00:15:15,233 --> 00:15:18,233
with changing the brush size as well.
240
00:15:18,266 --> 00:15:23,833
I will just remind you that the shortcut for that option control
241
00:15:23,933 --> 00:15:28,566
and clicking the mouse changing the size.
242
00:15:28,633 --> 00:15:33,100
Okay, let's see from from the distance.
243
00:15:33,166 --> 00:15:36,366
Let's improve the light over here
244
00:15:36,433 --> 00:15:40,600
so it's nice and pronounced.
245
00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:47,966
Darken the shadows a bit more.
246
00:15:48,033 --> 00:15:51,033
Okay,
247
00:15:51,066 --> 00:15:56,900
let's do this side
248
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:57,666
again.
249
00:15:57,666 --> 00:16:02,500
There's some shadow under the eyes so we can brighten it a bit
250
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:18,866
like so darken here so it burns more.
251
00:16:18,933 --> 00:16:20,166
All right, that looks good.
252
00:16:20,166 --> 00:16:26,100
I think you can see often when you zoom out, you can even see more
253
00:16:26,166 --> 00:16:31,300
how the shadows look like and
254
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,433
if we should
255
00:16:32,433 --> 00:16:36,700
work on them more or not.
256
00:16:36,766 --> 00:16:39,766
Okay.
257
00:16:39,766 --> 00:16:43,300
This area next to the lips,
258
00:16:43,366 --> 00:16:48,166
maybe we can soften that edge a bit with white
259
00:16:48,266 --> 00:16:53,500
darken this area so it blends more.
260
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,666
Okay, let's move to the chin.
261
00:16:57,733 --> 00:17:01,133
Darken this place,
262
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,500
make it more soft.
263
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:05,933
And the transition between
264
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,500
shadow and light
265
00:17:10,566 --> 00:17:14,033
is more smooth. Now.
266
00:17:14,100 --> 00:17:17,066
Okay, so
267
00:17:17,066 --> 00:17:18,633
just gentle strokes.
268
00:17:18,633 --> 00:17:19,466
Take your time.
269
00:17:19,466 --> 00:17:20,866
No rush.
270
00:17:20,866 --> 00:17:26,100
And again, if you're working from a further distance like I am,
271
00:17:26,166 --> 00:17:32,700
this stage won't take as much time as various tutorials may suggest.
272
00:17:32,766 --> 00:17:35,933
The legends about dodging burn taking professional researchers
273
00:17:35,933 --> 00:17:39,900
several hours are entirely untrue.
274
00:17:39,966 --> 00:17:43,500
Once you know how to use the right tools and follow the workflow
275
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:49,100
I'm showing you, you won't spend hours staring at each photo.
276
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,200
Let's see the before and after.
277
00:17:52,366 --> 00:17:54,900
We have a nice transition from
278
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:58,233
from the shadow on the cheek to the light.
279
00:17:58,300 --> 00:18:00,533
The eye has brightened up a bit.
280
00:18:00,533 --> 00:18:02,366
It looks more vibrant.
281
00:18:02,366 --> 00:18:06,100
Let's go to the corner of the lips.
282
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,133
Lighten it a bit
283
00:18:08,133 --> 00:18:12,933
as there are some dark spots that are very uneven.
284
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:20,200
So we can work on that for a while.
285
00:18:20,266 --> 00:18:22,966
We often switch between
286
00:18:22,966 --> 00:18:31,600
white and black.
287
00:18:31,666 --> 00:18:33,000
There's a light spot here
288
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:57,366
so we can darken it a bit.
289
00:18:57,433 --> 00:19:00,900
Let's see our black and white version.
290
00:19:00,966 --> 00:19:04,966
If something is looking not right,
291
00:19:05,066 --> 00:19:09,866
here are some dark areas that we can
292
00:19:09,933 --> 00:19:13,933
smooth out a bit.
293
00:19:14,033 --> 00:19:14,400
Okay.
294
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:23,800
But overall I think we are getting there
295
00:19:23,866 --> 00:19:24,433
okay.
296
00:19:24,433 --> 00:19:26,666
Before and after.
297
00:19:26,666 --> 00:19:31,900
Yeah, it all looks much smoother now.
298
00:19:31,966 --> 00:19:36,800
I think we are ready to move over to the neck.
299
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:37,266
Okay.
300
00:19:37,266 --> 00:19:41,566
There are some lights here under the jawline,
301
00:19:41,733 --> 00:19:45,300
so I think it will look better
302
00:19:45,366 --> 00:19:50,866
if it's all a bit more even there, there.
303
00:19:50,966 --> 00:19:55,066
So let's darken it a bit and smooth out
304
00:19:55,166 --> 00:19:58,900
like so
305
00:19:58,966 --> 00:20:04,166
this area might be a bit too bright.
306
00:20:04,233 --> 00:20:06,266
It draws attention,
307
00:20:06,266 --> 00:20:12,200
so maybe we can darken it a bit.
308
00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:18,800
Nice. So.
309
00:20:18,900 --> 00:20:34,233
And let's move down here.
310
00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:37,266
We always pay attention to where the lights are
311
00:20:37,266 --> 00:20:40,866
and the shadows we don't remove any shadow
312
00:20:40,933 --> 00:20:43,300
or any light.
313
00:20:43,300 --> 00:20:47,633
We just we are just making the transitions between them a bit smoother.
314
00:20:47,633 --> 00:20:51,666
So if there's light over here,
315
00:20:51,666 --> 00:20:55,166
we don't want to darken it
316
00:20:55,233 --> 00:20:59,166
and alter it because it won't look natural.
317
00:20:59,233 --> 00:21:01,766
We are just want to
318
00:21:01,766 --> 00:21:04,300
make the transitions better
319
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:18,633
so the skin will appear a bit more smooth and clean.
320
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:21,000
Okay,
321
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:27,233
we can brighten that area a bit
322
00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:33,600
and darken the light here.
323
00:21:33,666 --> 00:21:48,800
Okay, let's move back a bit.
324
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:51,066
All right.
325
00:21:51,066 --> 00:21:53,000
This color bone is maybe a bit
326
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,133
too pronounced, so we can work on the shadows.
327
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,200
So it's.
328
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,366
So it will blend more
329
00:22:00,366 --> 00:22:02,966
with the rest of the body
330
00:22:02,966 --> 00:22:05,566
like that.
331
00:22:05,566 --> 00:22:08,800
We can work with a larger brush here
332
00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:15,066
as there are larger areas to
333
00:22:15,133 --> 00:22:19,800
to even out.
334
00:22:19,866 --> 00:22:20,333
All right.
335
00:22:20,333 --> 00:22:24,633
I think it looks much better Now.
336
00:22:24,700 --> 00:22:28,433
Let's let's check the black and white layer
337
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:34,100
and work on it a bit.
338
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:34,800
Okay.
339
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,433
Before and after
340
00:22:39,533 --> 00:22:41,066
we've lost some light over here
341
00:22:41,066 --> 00:22:45,933
so we can bring it back
342
00:22:46,000 --> 00:23:12,100
some shadow as well.
343
00:23:12,166 --> 00:23:13,466
Okay.
344
00:23:13,466 --> 00:23:16,466
Maybe that shadow on the nose is a bit too much.
345
00:23:16,466 --> 00:23:21,533
So we can soft it a bit.
346
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,166
Mm. Let's zoom into the eye.
347
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,233
As I've noticed there is a vein there that we haven't removed
348
00:23:29,333 --> 00:23:32,966
so we can go back to the layer,
349
00:23:33,033 --> 00:23:37,200
select our healing brush
350
00:23:37,266 --> 00:23:40,266
and take care of it.
351
00:23:40,366 --> 00:23:43,500
We had the spot spot healing brush selected.
352
00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:46,866
So let's get our Healing Brush tool
353
00:23:46,933 --> 00:23:48,933
and with old
354
00:23:48,933 --> 00:23:50,933
sample paint over, sample
355
00:23:50,933 --> 00:23:54,400
paint over like that.
356
00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:57,433
So we remove the veins a bit
357
00:23:57,433 --> 00:24:00,966
so the eye will be a bit cleaner.
358
00:24:01,033 --> 00:24:03,000
And that dark spot here
359
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,466
can be fixed with dodge and burn.
360
00:24:06,566 --> 00:24:09,233
So we get back to the brush
361
00:24:09,233 --> 00:24:12,600
and so select
362
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:32,700
white color and paint over it.
363
00:24:32,766 --> 00:24:34,600
Okay,
364
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,033
Over here as well.
365
00:24:36,033 --> 00:24:40,633
There's some dark vein so we can fix it
366
00:24:40,733 --> 00:24:43,400
with our brush.
367
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,566
All right.
368
00:24:44,566 --> 00:24:47,333
Let's take a look at what we have done.
369
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,833
The forehead is pretty smooth.
370
00:24:50,933 --> 00:24:54,966
Maybe here there's some light area
371
00:24:54,966 --> 00:24:58,433
that we can darken a bit more.
372
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:00,166
All right.
373
00:25:00,166 --> 00:25:02,800
Let's not forget the ear.
374
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,166
Its main problem is the color, of course.
375
00:25:06,266 --> 00:25:08,633
But we can
376
00:25:08,633 --> 00:25:11,400
work on the shadows as well,
377
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,666
make them less contrasty and visible.
378
00:25:14,733 --> 00:25:17,733
So the the ear
379
00:25:17,833 --> 00:25:28,733
blends a bit more.
380
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,200
Right.
381
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,233
And I like that.
382
00:25:35,333 --> 00:25:37,800
I think the skin looks really good now.
383
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,200
That's all I do to it.
384
00:25:41,300 --> 00:25:42,333
So as you can see,
385
00:25:42,333 --> 00:25:46,266
this stage doesn't take a huge amount of time
386
00:25:46,333 --> 00:25:50,833
and I think we are now ready to move on to the next stage,
387
00:25:50,933 --> 00:25:54,300
which is working on the color of this photo.
