![]() The changes have been applied to only the second copy of the image and not the first so there is a different version of the image in each layer. When you’re done click Ok to return to Photoshop. In this case I adjusted to get a better sky. This creates a copy of the smart object layer.ĭouble click on the thumbnail of this second Smart Object to open it in ACR and now process it a second time to bring out detail in another part of the image. To do this, right click on the smart object layer and choose New Smart Object via Copy. But to make sure we don't end up softening these important details, we need to highlight the areas around them as well, which means we need a larger Radius value.In addition you can use this feature to process an image in more than one way and to blend the two versions together. Low Radius values will highlight only the finest details in the image. ![]() In other words, once Photoshop has detected an edge, the Radius value tells it how many pixels on either side of it to include as part of the edge. The High Pass filter detects edges and highlights them, and the Radius option at the bottom of the High Pass dialog box controls the "thickness" of the edge highlighting. We'll detect the edges not so we can sharpen them but so we can smooth and soften everything except the edges. But for smoothing skin, we use High Pass for the opposite reason. If we were sharpening the image, the High Pass filter would allow us to sharpen the edges (the details) without affecting the skin. These areas are not considered an edge, so rather than highlighting them, the High Pass filter fills these areas with neutral gray. Skin texture, on the other hand, has relatively low amounts of detail with much smoother transitions. With portrait photos, the edges are usually along the person's hair, around the eyes, the mouth, and so on. An edge is an area where there's a big, sudden change in brightness or color between neighboring pixels. The High Pass filter looks for edges in the image and highlights them. Even though we'll be using High Pass to smooth skin, not sharpen it, many of the steps are the same. If you're familiar with the High Pass filter, it's most likely because you've used it to sharpen images in Photoshop. Why The High Pass Filter Is Great For Smoothing Skin ![]() I'll position the Spot Healing Brush over it, and I'll make my brush slightly larger than the pimple itself: If we look at the woman's forehead in my image, we see what looks like a large pimple just to the right of center. ![]() Example: Removing Skin Blemishes With The Spot Healing Brush If the blemish hasn't completely gone away on the first try, undo your click by pressing Ctrl+Z (Win) / Command+Z (Mac) on your keyboard, then resize your brush if needed and click on the same blemish to try again. To change your brush size, press the right bracket key ( ] ) on your keyboard to make the brush larger or the left bracket key ( [ ) to make it smaller. For best results, make your brush slightly larger than the blemish. Photoshop will instantly "heal" the blemishes by replacing the problem texture with good skin texture from the surrounding area. Step 4: Click On The Skin Blemishes To Remove ThemĬlick on any unwanted skin blemishes with the Spot Healing Brush to remove them. Content-Aware should be selected by default.
