You will learn how to tone a face, remove acne and blemishes, reduce the appear appearance of wrinkles as well as the correct way to whiten eyes and dodge and burn.
We will not blur the skin or change the bone structure in this tutorial. This is also a very natural way of retouching which works on all people young and old. We are also not going to use Frequency Separation on this, these are the kinds of techniques used in professional retouching and photographic studios.
