ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
How do you achieve soft skin tones without your images looking overly processed, unnatural or like you slapped a bad Instagram filter on them? That's what we're talking about in today's portrait editing tutorial using where I'm sharing a breakdown one of my favorite tools to get flawless, natural looking skin right within Lightroom: The Texture slider! I'll also be talking about the Clarity slider, which is better and when you should use each of them when retouching portraits in Lightroom. Let's dig in! :)
P.S. Have suggestions for a future Edit Together Tuesday video? Drop it in the comments below! I'd love to hear. :)

I thought this was going to be another average retouching tutorial… my bad! Thanks so much, absolutely killer tips here!

[@jimwlouavl]

Thanks for showing how to use the texture slider. I hope Adobe adds range masks to the other version of Lightroom.

[@erinh0121]

Straightforward, simple and downright amazing tutorial!!! Thank you! (BTW, you transported me back to the 90's when you mentioned the "mall glam portraits" at 2:25 Now I feel really old). HAHA!!

I’m so happy you found it valuable Heather! 🤗💗

[@RichardRamhoff]

Really helpful. I much prefer Lightroom for it's speediness. This is so much faster than the stuff I see for Photoshop. Thanks for posting. Question: How does this differ from the "Soften Skin" brush preset? It seems much better.

[@paulinamariabicharagarcia6996]

Hi! Thanks so much for sharing but I cant find the range mask on LR 2022, am I missing something?

[@franklingarcia436]

How do you get your LR to look like that ? Mine
looks a bit different, it just has the photo in the
middle with no things on the right or left

[@elomelo9878]

hey. I can't find the Basic edit video. can you help me

[@mynameistrd6841]

or you can just active skin softening feature in Sony A7IV and A7R5

[@mikami1]

Can you do a video for lightoom 11 how to use the color picker. Minute 6:30

[@itwin9560]

hi chelsea, how do you get the Basic edit color tone like the one you applied at the beginning of editing, did you use a preset

[@itwin9560]

can we teach me how to make it

[@toddtaggart4062]

Why are you shooting at 3200/sec with this photo? You could get your ISO lower. Just asking.

[@mikr0bi]

Hi, I have not retouching tools at all. The newest lightroom classic.
