9:41 PM Vibrant and glamourous retouching

Here is a retouching tutorial for portrait, not any special and just using common techiques but i hope  its still a good suggestion for you to make your portrait have soft, warm, vibrant and glamour look.   The final result: Stock: 1. Duplicate your pic. Use your method to soften or sharpen it. Here i use Blur tool. 2. Create a new layer, choose soft brush, color code is fce2f0 to paint gently on the darker area of her cheeks ( set this layer to soft light 100%) 3. Create a new channel mixer layer. Red: 110, -49,42,0 Green: -5, 118, -13,-1 Blue:-16,17, 63, 14 4. New selective color layer: Reds: -57,14, -21,10 Yellows: 79,10, 8,-52 Neutrals : 0,0,0,-8 Blacks : 0,0,0,4   5. New Brightness/contrast layer with parameters 4/8 and use soft brush on layer mask to erase all dark or  bright areas on the pic. 6. Create a new layer, change the mode to Color 30%, use soft brush with fdc5a6 to paint on the chin and forehead , color f8c894 to paint on the rest of her skin to remove green areas and make a lively look.   7. Create a new layer, use soft brush , color code is f5bd98 to paint on her cheeks. Lower opacity to 70%. 8. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E. Apply Unsharp mask: Add a layer mask to erase the hair and background. And final result: Some tips if you want to follow this tutorial: - Apply values depending on your pic tone and you can use Hue/saturation as an extra step. - To fix wrong color skin areas: create a new layer and use soft brush with the tone near to this color , set to Soft light ( if used on dark areas) or Multipy ( if on bright areas), change opacity till you feel ok.
