Introduction
This is the final result of this episode, a portrait of an old man with a headscarf, wrinkles, and puffy eyes that have been softly smoothed, yet the facial character remains intact. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. The Healing Brush is similar to the Clone Stamp, but after copying the texture, it adjusts the color and brightness to match the target area. The Patch Tool works on the same principle but for larger areas.
Step 1: Duplicate Layer
Open the portrait of the old man with a headscarf. His face is full of character, and we don't want to remove it, only to soften it. Press Ctrl J and name it 'Smooth'.
Step 2: Healing Brush and Source
Select the Healing Brush Tool in the same group as the Spot Healing. Hold Alt and click on the smooth skin area of the cheek as the source.
Step 3: Softening the Eye Bags
Brush slowly under the left eye. The texture from the cheek is copied, but the color and brightness adjust to the area under the eye, reducing the puffiness without blemishes. Repeat for the right eye using the source from the right cheek.
Step 4: Patch Tool
For the large forehead wrinkles, select the Patch Tool. Lasso one group of wrinkles, then drag the selection to the smoother skin area. When released, the texture from the source area replaces the wrinkles with colors that blend in. The result is now too smooth for this old face.
Step 5: Opacity for Natural Look
Lower the opacity of the 'Smooth' layer to 60%. Some of the original wrinkles reappear subtly, so the face remains honest but looks fresher.
Step 6: Compare and Save
Turn off and on the 'Smooth' layer to compare. Save as PSD and export as JPG. JPG.
Done!
Done. We have used the Healing Brush with Alt-click source to soften the puffiness, used the Patch Tool for larger areas, and lowered the opacity to keep it natural.
