Introduction

This is the final result of this episode, a close-up portrait with blemishes and skin spots removed, yet the texture of the pores remains intact, making the face look natural. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. We are entering the Photo Retouch module. The first and most commonly used tool is the Spot Healing Brush, which removes small blemishes with just one click and automatically mimics the texture around it.

Step 1: Separate working layer

Open the close-up portrait photo. The first rule of Retouching, never edit the original photo directly. Press Ctrl-J and name the layer Retouch. All improvements are done on this layer, so we can always compare or redo the edits.

Step 2: Spot Healing Brush settings

Select the Spot Healing Brush tool or press J. In the options, make sure the type is set to Content-Aware. Adjust the size slightly larger than the blemish you want to remove, usually 20-40 pixels for a photo of this size.

Step 3: Zoom in on the skin

Zoom in to focus on the cheeks and nose. Retouching is always done with a zoom of 100% or more, because small blemishes are not visible in the full view. Use the spacebar to move the view around.

Step 4: Click on each spot

Click right above each blemish or dark spot. The area that was brushed over temporarily appeared darker, then Photoshop filled it with the surrounding skin texture. Move to the next area and repeat until the skin is clean.

Step 5: Don't overdo it

Remove only temporary blemishes such as pimples or dark spots. Tissue, permanent scars, and expression wrinkles are part of the face's character, so leave them or just reduce them slightly. Good Retouching doesn't feel like Retouching. Return to full view, then turn off and on the Retouch layer's eye icon to see the difference.

Step 6: Compare and save

Save as PSD and export as JPG.

Done!

Done. We have worked on a duplicated layer, set the Spot Healing Brush to Content-Aware mode, adjusted the brush size, removed blemishes one by one with zoom, and preserved the face's character. In the next episode, we'll use the Remove tool to delete larger objects. Need to edit product photos for marketplaces, retouch photos, design posters, or create social media content?
