Smooth Skin Using The High Pass Filter

Here's another technique to make skin look smooth and flawless using the High Pass Filter in Photoshop.  Making your image...

to look like this....

Here's how it's being done:

Step 01. Run Photoshop and open your image that you want to work on. In this tutorial I will be using this very nice photo that I downloaded from this site.

Step 02.  Next, press Ctrl + J to duplicate your image.  In the Layers Palette change Blend Mode to Vivid Light.

Step 03.   Then, go to  Image > Adjustments > Invert (Ctrl + I).

Step 04.  Next, go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur...  and apply these settings.

This will be the product.

Step 05.  After that, go to Filter > Other > High Pass... and apply these settings.

This will be the result.

Step 06.  Next, go to Layer > Layer Mask > Hide All...  In the Toolbox, select the Brush tool, adjust it to your preferred size (use the " [ " and " ] " keys) and Hardness = 0.  

When you're set, then start applying the brush tool on the part of the image where you want to look smooth.  In this case, start to work first on the face then the body.

This will be the end product.

Very simple and easy, right!  Thanx for dropping by.
