In this video I show you my 3 stage process for natural looking skin retouching using the spot healing tool, micro dodging using curves and tone balancing with colour brushes in Adobe Photoshop.

Sean, this is one of the best tutorials for skin editing I've seen! Natural edits is KEY and unfortunately too much of what we see on social media and even TH-cam is wanting to make everyone look like their skin is flawless/perfect and that just isn't realistic. I very much appreciate you putting out this video!
Thanks my friend:)
I’m loving your latest Portrait posts- glad you are posting more :)
I thought the longer videos were cool, however these bite sized pieces are quite nice. You know how to use, and when to use the instruments in the tool palette and not go overboard with the subject you're working on.
Thank you for this series 🤗.
That's pretty much the routine I came up with back in the days of PS 5 for retouching. I noticed that the skin texture was defined by light and dark areas so I'd go through and do the dark areas and then again with the light areas, much like what you did. At first I went overboard so I started using layers and opacity to fine tune each type of edit.
I agree with you about things like moles and will only lighten them a bit.
One thing I started doing a couple years before I had to quit photography for health reasons was to light the subject with a large soft light source and then in front of that a smaller more contrasty light so I got a nice highlight on the skin but it wasn't so bad I had to retouch it down a notch. It was easy to set up too. I used it on a lot of clothing catalog shoots.
Thank you! Again a superb video from you. I was very happy watching a different way of skin retouching like this. I really look forward to the coming videos. Great work!
Thanks for this Sean, just starting out on portraits and this definitely helps!
always thankful of you being so generous.
Your Headshot and Dramatic Portraits videos were key in my having a clear workflow and after many attempts finally get a grip on Photoshop. Thank you so much. Excited about the series!!!
Small, subtle changes are key. Thank you for this tutorial, Sean.
Thank you for this video. Love the actual realism, which makes people look truly beautiful.
Yes!!! A portrait editing video once again!!! We'd love to have more from you Sean! Your editing videos are fabulous!!!
Happy New Year Sean! I’ve also missed portrait photos over the past year. Finally persuaded the family to sit for some sessions before Christmas and I definitely want to do some more this year. This is a really helpful video - thank you!
Your video was such a life saver! I have this project for my photography class and it's usually very hard for me to follow along with the professor. This was perfect for the light editing I'm trying to do.
Wow, I never know just use blank layer and brush can make a natural softening skin. Thanks for sharing Sean
Sean, I cannot appreciate you enough for this! Outstanding work and very happy new year, man! ❤️ from Brazil
This is amazing thanks. Can't wait for the rest of the series 🙂
I’m here for this Sean!🙌
Thank you for this. I do use FS technique but sometimes I just need a simple retouch and this is it. Very simple and subtle. Thank you.
Learned a lot new stuff in Photoshop today. Thanks! Looking forward for the next episode.
Excellent, looking forward for the whole series. I really like the natural style of your portraits, I have a lot to learn.
Sean! Wow, your videos are an amazing resource. The experience and expertise that you're handing out like this is unbelievable. Holy moly superman. Thank you so much. In a literal sense this is a free master class on portrait work. Thank you so much. Can't say that enough.
Really liked this video, I'm excited to see this series develop! Keep up the good work, Sean!
Thank you for sharing all this material. Looking forward to this series.
Love this type of content from you. Your portrait contrast video is an all time favourite of mine.
Looking forward to the whole series!
Really great tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to make it! Always appreciate the genuineness of your channel and work. Many thanks!
Sean, thank you very much for this series. It's very helpful and you are a great trainer....
Love how you bring me back from diving off the deep end and getting to complex :)
Divine timing. Thank you.
TEACH, SEAN, TEACH! Great editing tips for Portraits for various skin tones THANK YOU!
This channel is like a photo school - free knowledge 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
yess! looking forward for for videos on this subject exactly! Thank you so much Sean!!
Thank you Sean! Very kind to share to us
It's always fascinating to look under bonnet and see how others retouch their images. Your process is somewhat meticulous but the final edit looks awesome.
Can't wait for these videos°!!
Pumped for this series!
Nicely done. I loved your earlier re-touching videos. It never occurred to me to comment on the speed of content provided so generously! I just watched them again. Cheers.
Thank you Mr. Tucker! I love your videos ! I saw your other video and I really loved it ! I find that some people today always looking for a fast way to get amazing portraits with very little work ! The truth is that sometimes a great portrait it can take hours even days if it’s for professional work for a client!
Sean, a big fan of your work. Thanks for putting together videos that are easy to follow. One of my biggest problems with not making progress (other than ADHD), is that I feel like retouching is so overwhelming to learn. There is a daunting number of steps if I go to see many folks' tutorials. Thanks for keeping this simple, and I love the fact that the results look so natural !!
So simple and helpful! Thank you again!
Hi Sean. I haven't watched your vids for a while and hopping back onto your channel was wonderful. I really love your delivery and content too. So authentic and calming to watch. Great work buddy!
Haha. Paused the vid to write that - now back to your retouch!
Thanks Sean! This will help me immensely!
thanks a lot for creating this series
Thanks a lot for such a contribution .
Thank you, Maestro! We want more.
Excellent method and advice ! I'll try it.
Perfect. Looking forward to the next Videos!!👍
Great video, really natural as you promised.
Ps when your using the pipet at the third step, make sure you have the pipet settings to 1x1 other wise it will make a mixed color of multiple samples. Sometimes it can be handy to get a more samples color. In this case i doubt its useful
You da man Sean!
Great video always. I remember watching "How to Edit Dramatic Portraits in Photoshop" a few years ago. Each time you moved on to the next layer, I paused and youtube searched every step to find out "every little thing I'm doing" to absorb the technique. I'm not sure how this series is going to be consistent with that one, but I think it would be very beneficial to understand the whole process first watching "How to Edit Dramatic Portraits in Photoshop", then dive into the details. The two piece videos are my portrait Masterclass. The story telling, the gear set up, the prep, and developing and retouching. The other one is "Planning and Shooting a Portrait Project (featuring the Godox AD200)". They are made in 2017, but they don't fade out in this day and age.
Fantastic tutorial! Will practice soon!
Fantastic! Thank you!
Please next Editing part ! Sean this video was gr8
Thank you, great content as always.
Fantastic, helpful as always thank you!
Excellent info. Thank you!
Insane! The master of dynamic range on youtube aswell!
Subtle! Nice! Thank you!
Nice tutorial! Thanks!!!
This is very similar to how I retouch. Although I did pick up a few helpful tips here. Happy to see someone else uses this method. I always assumed I was doing it some weird way. Never been able to get a nice natural look with frequency separation and I haven't got the patience to do dodge and burn retouching.
Wow such great captures of people! lovely work!
PS your remark about taking out and leaving in is fabulous. "im taking out everything which wont be there in 2 weeks". Thats a really great description actually.
🙂 As a portrait photographer myself - nicely done. 👍🏾
This looks good and seems simpler to conduct than frequency separation
Looks good!
Thanks 🙌🏼 just what i needed 🧐👍🏼
This is great! Thanks so much.
Great video Sean
great, i wasa like "please make an video, explain your workflow" .... and few weeks later "bam" you delivered!!!
Thank you 🙏
That was awesome, subscribed 😍😍
Great!
Thanks
Even though I found my own way of retouching I still love to see different methods!
Thanks a lot! Very useful tips!
Thanks, Sean. You did excellent with explaining your techniques. I shoot wildlife and I still look forward to your videos. 😉
This was good!
Very helpful. Thank you!!
Great, thanks!
Saving this to reference
Thanks Sean, I look forward to the rest in this series. I watched your older content which really helped me and although I douse frequency separation, I will def try out this method - should make the file sizes a bit smaller too? Hope your enjoying the North, you're spoilt for scenic woodlands with Simon baxter - love his work too. All the best.
Thanks Sean! :-)
Thank you.
Very nice video, useful! Thank you!
Yeeeeeeassss please 💯💯💯🙏🙏
Thank you, Sean! I'm new to portrait photography and editing. I've been watching a number of videos on TH-cam by different creators on skin retouching. I'm still trying to get my arms on the use of PS. I like your approach to skin retouching. My goal is to use the techniques that you presented in this vid and apply them to some of my previous portrait photos. With the new updates to PS, have you tried the skin smoothing feature under Neural Filters? What are your thoughts?
I would love to attend a workshop- but being in Canada that seems unlikely for at least a long while. However if you ever do an online course, I would 100% pay for it! Thanks for the great tips!
Interesting approach you have there, lightening shadows on a pore level. I like my portraits lookinh natural as well and start my workflow the same way. But then I do the frequency separation thing -lightly! I tried painting over lightly with sampled colours but I was too heavy-handed I think. Might give that another go. Thanks for a great video 🙂
It's really like the process of painting, so it does require some training. The lighter the touch and the more strokes the better the result, but also it will take a lot of time. At first, you will tend to take a large brush but with experience you'll tend to take a smaller one.
very good my friend
Sean, I know you are very nonchalant regarding numbers - furthermore views are more important than subs - but nevertheless congrats on reaching half a million subscribers.
Being color blind I use the hints in your skin tone correction video a lot. Cheers!
Very nice video. Just have a small question. Why using Screen bend mode instead of simply increasing the curve for Dodging?
Hi Sean, I hope you are well, and thanks for all the great videos. The portraits that are on the wall behind you, if I were to arrange them I would swap the left one and the right one so they both look inwards. I was wondering if you had a reason to arrange them like this or does it just feel right? Thanks
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿Bravo
Toneh is awesome
Interesting video
Thanks for the great work Sean..may i use your thoughts on plugins such as Skylum AI luminar,exposure etc..Those really have helped and saved me so much time in my portrait editting sessions..
Very much regret that your church didn’t recognize and affirm your gifts, but so very grateful that you live in our world right now.just sayin….
Although I've been wanting to update my retouching style. This is very similar to how I edit; using a blank layer for skin. I use frequency separation, and I'd like to use D&B more often.
I like your natural style; it takes practice and some "overdoing" to know when to stop
I'd like to to get back to portraits as well in 2022 Sean. Covid-19 lockdowns from 2020 still have me out of sync
Thank you for posting this. I do have a question: could you elaborate more on why you prefer this over frequency separation? I have tried this method here, frequency separation, and some sort of high pass method. I found working with frequency separation to be easy given a light touch, but find your method more approachable and easy to build up. I’m at a loss when I am trying to find a tried and true method with skin editing. Thanks!
