Retouching Skin In Photoshop

I lightly retouch all my portrait images. I lighting smooth skin, brighten and color correct. This helps give portraits a professionally finish. After adjusting my white balance and exposure of an image I then use our Retouching Photoshop Actions.

I usually run the Airbrush Skin Actions, then reduce the opacity to around 15%. The majority of the time that’s all my portraits need to have a beautiful finish. You can view our Retouching Actions within our SHOP

How To Use Photoshop Overlays To Create Unique Images

To me a raw images is like a white canvas with a preliminary sketch on it. You have so many options of what you can do with your image. I’ve always loved editing images and giving them a unique feel.

I created some photoshop Overlays that include sparkles, sparklers, borek and most recently leafs. The leafs are probably my favorite. I use them on a lot of my fall photo shoots. I also utilize the bokeh overlays for night shoots.

Overlays are very easy to download and apply to your images. They look very natural and can be used on a variety of indoor/outdoor images.
