How I Retouch Portraits In Affinity Photo - Full Workflow

Join me as I go through the details of my personal portrait retouching process using a self-portrait in Affinity Photo. I will walk through and share my techniques for blemish removal using frequency separation, wrinkle smoothing and bringing life and detail to eyes.
If you are curious about photo retouching, this video will offer insights into each step of my retouching workflow. I'll explain my methods as I go so you can follow along and pick up tips for your own photography.
I think retouching is all about subtly and enhancing the details that are already present. I hope you are able to find inspiration and maybe some new techniques to apply to your own photos!

This is too much work, is more better to put a soft filter to the len so i dont have to do this retouch on the software?

[@MichaelSturgill]

I would say that's up to you. This is just my workflow and what I do right now. If you think a filter is enough for your photos, then by all means, use that. I like to edit photos, so this is the workflow I've adopted, but everyone is different, and you should find something that works best for you!
