Thank you so much for this tutorial! I never understood much about the clone stamp tool and stopped using it because I didn't know about the lighten/darken technique. This will allow me to completely transform my retouching. Thanks again!
I cannot thank you enough for these tutorials, they're so incredibly helpful, clear and packed with tips you can usually only hear when attending proffesional workshops. I'm so grateful that you are sharing this with everyone, thanks a lot!
Absolutely lovely tutorial. Your voice is perfect, intonation and instruction very clear. I've been using Photoshop for over 6 years now for retouching and I learned soooo much from this! Thank you!
Love love love! And you have the voice for it too!! lol It's great to see more women doing photography/retouching tutorial videos! Can't wait to see more. Cheers :)
again, anothe perfect tutorial. I am always struggling with smile lines. I mean hard lines that create shadows on young people. How would you tackle this?
Thank you very much for this tutorial! It was super helpful. I love the video itself too. Your voice and microphone are great, the music is super and what's seen on screen is very nice. Thank you!! :D
Here, here! Very cleanly and simply explained, not a stammer or stutter in your presentation... did you practice? ;) I can actually imagine you just banged that out :D
Hehe I wish I could have just banged it out but I know if I do this then I'll miss important things. I prep prep prep to make sure the video is as information as possible :)
Just discovered your channel and wanted to say that I love your videos. You're making some of the very best content on TH-cam, they are seriously so helpful. Looking forward to more content from you!
I don't usually comment on videos but your videos are awesome, so far it covered everything I needed to know and I watched so many videos before about cleaning skin in a non destructive way but yours makes it so easier and simple to understand. I'm really happy I found you and I can't wait for D&G video. Thank you!
This is an excellent tutorial, with a clear explanation and good visual demonstration. I hadn't tried these settings with the clone stamp tool. Thanks! I do have one question, though, and it will seem oddly irrelevant. Why do you pronounce the letter Z as "zee" instead of "zed"?
Just recently found this video.....proceeded to get obsessed with all your work. You have such a refined eye and so much talent! I was also wondering, do you clean the hair around the mouth using this same method? I always struggle with removing peach fuzz without losing texture.
cool, I've just recently discovered that saving tool presets for stamp is very useful, but I didn't thought about saving it for darker/lighter mods! Thanks, Zoe!
Hi Barrie! I have airbrush on because I like being able to bring more "paint" if I hold down the stamp tool. For removing blemishes it's not so important because I just tap once to remove but for some instances I like to have a more painterly effect. But without airbrush is absolutely fine... it's just a personal preference with how I paint and use my pen :) 70% is because I found 100% to be too strong... I will reduce this if I need to have a more gentle affect, say in areas that are more out of focus, but I just found 70% again works for me well. Experiment and see how you find them but this value can be changed to suit your workflow :)
That amount of detail and patience is incredible! Great video. I would like to ask, what is your look on frequency seperation technique, do you also use it in your workflow?
Thanks! I use the Clone because I have all the control with it. With Healing photoshop is working it out and sometimes it's great but sometimes it's not so I just decided to only use Clone for more control :)
OK, I'll definitely try it out on my next retouch :) And please keep sharing your knowledge. It's always a pleasure to learn from people who are on a very high levels as you.
This tutorial has been made so meticulously with love for the art & sharing the knowledge. Loved it. Shared it. Subscribing to your knowledge, voice and skill! Thanks for making this video!! #subscribed
Thank you Zoe. An excellent tutorial. I've just completed a foundation diploma in PS which only touched the surface of re-touching so I'm glad I glad I found the link in DIY Photography web-site. Thanks again :-)
Extremely professional in both presentation and practice/workflow... I first found your channel from the luminosity mask technique for colour grading and that's the method I've come to use now. You can always tell a professionals work by the subtlety in their approach and what they value in it... so many skin retouching you see in mainstream marketing is full airbrush smooth city, but your practice accomplishes the same perfection while keeping her looking real and imperfect :p I am looking forward to how you approach the dodge and burn tutorial, I always get very carried away with those tools ^^
you are really good! thanks for sharing this tutorials with us.. can you make a tutorial about outdoor fashion photography / color correct - grading like that please? have a good day Zoe
Awesome video, thanks! Just one question (sorry if you already answered it before): How do you toggle between the two clone presets that you´ve created? Any keyboard shortcut? Thanks!
I really appreciated this video bc you explained why and how it's best to do what you do. Hope that makes sense. I hope you upload more videos. What are your thoughts on other rival software such as Resolve from Black Magic Design and Affinity? I am certain they would be similar. Any software is good as long as you know how to maximize it's use. Really do hope you create some Adobe Premier Tutorials. Thank you so much! This is an excellent video!
2:37 Zoe, forgive my ignorance, but why would the texture be destroyed if you're cloning the texture from somewhere else? In this case, it can be assumed that you are exchanging a bad texture for a good texture, right?
This is one of the best skin cleaning tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing Zoë! I can't wait for the Dodge and Burn!
Thanks so much Rubén!! So glad you like it :D

cool, I've just recently discovered that saving tool presets for stamp is very useful, but I didn't thought about saving it for darker/lighter mods! Thanks, Zoe!
Same here!! I only discovered this a few months ago and my mind was blown!! Such a time saver :D
Thank you so much for sharing this Zoe, your work and technique are amazing, and so you are as a teacher! I´m anxious to see the D&B video!
So glad you like it! Stay tuned for that D&B one, it's coming soon!
Hi Zoe, completely awesome technique! Curious, how did you light this amazing beauty shot?
Thanks, Zoë. Very helpful (even if I just use tool presets!). Just a couple of questions - why airbrush mode and why 70% flow?
Hi Barrie! I have airbrush on because I like being able to bring more "paint" if I hold down the stamp tool. For removing blemishes it's not so important because I just tap once to remove but for some instances I like to have a more painterly effect. But without airbrush is absolutely fine... it's just a personal preference with how I paint and use my pen :) 70% is because I found 100% to be too strong... I will reduce this if I need to have a more gentle affect, say in areas that are more out of focus, but I just found 70% again works for me well. Experiment and see how you find them but this value can be changed to suit your workflow :)
Thanks Zoë. That makes sense.
That amount of detail and patience is incredible! Great video.
I would like to ask, what is your look on frequency seperation technique, do you also use it in your workflow?
Great video with great tips!
thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain why & how you chose the tools you worked with. #Subscribed.
Really glad you liked it Terrence!
Great tutorial Zoë! Is there a specific reason why you prefer the clone stamp to the healing brush for skin cleanup?
Thanks! I use the Clone because I have all the control with it. With Healing photoshop is working it out and sometimes it's great but sometimes it's not so I just decided to only use Clone for more control :)
OK, I'll definitely try it out on my next retouch :) And please keep sharing your knowledge. It's always a pleasure to learn from people who are on a very high levels as you.

4:30 tem 10 anos que tenho essa dúvida!! Sempre quis saber se havia essa possibilidade!
Muito obrigado Zoe!
Will def give this a try ... retouching def not my forte. Did you shoot this on medium format? Exquisite image!
Hey Jason! No this was just my Canon 5DIII... I think I may die if I have to start dealing with those medium format image sizes! lol.
Extremely professional in both presentation and practice/workflow... I first found your channel from the luminosity mask technique for colour grading and that's the method I've come to use now.
