This lesson we'll see how to retouch a face's photo and make from a simple picture a very original one.

Open in a new window the necessary photo: File  - Open (Ctrl+O).



Copy the layer, applying Layer - Duplicate Layer and erase the previous layer, using Delete Layer button in the Layers window. Change a little the brightness of the picture, using next combination: Image - Adjustments - Levels (Ctrl+L)



Apply next the Crop Tool for dividing the picture in several sequences for the picture to look more successful.



Apply now the Patch Tool to erase the patches from the face, by marking out the necessary part to retouch and moving it on the place without defects.





Pass to the menu Filter - Liquefy (Shift+Ctrl+X) and use Turbulence Tool to correct the face's traits by very careful and blurring motions. Improve the lips also.



Raise a little the eyebrow.



Make the nose a little thinner:

Then narrow out a little the picture, just for the face not to look so long, applying Edit - Free Transform (Ctrl+T)



Erase the rest of the picture that is not necessary for processing, using the Crop Tool. Applying Polygonal Lasso Tool, mark out the face, deviating a little from the face's edges. After that, change the instrument's adjustments to erase the markings from the eyes, lips and the nostrils.



Copy this part now: Edit - Copy (Ctrl+C) and insert it on a new layer: Edit - Paste (Ctrl+V). Blur out the layer that we've got, making use of next combination: Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur.



Minimize the layer's Opacity till 69%.

 




Combine this layer with the previous one: Layer - Merge Down (Ctrl+E) and delete the yellowness from the hair and the neck that is so uncomfortable for the eyes, applying Image - Adjustments - Selective Color.



Correct a little the picture's color, using Image - Adjustments - Curves (Ctrl+M)
