When it comes to retouching skin, it's all about the details.…So let's go ahead and take a look at another example.…In this case, we have a high-resolution file, so I'm going to go ahead and zoom…way in on the photograph.…We want to zoom in, so that we can really see the overall texture in the picture.…Next, we're going to create a new layer.…We'll do that by pressing Shift+Command+ N on the Mac or Shift+Ctrl+N on Windows.…Sometimes what I do in my own workflow is I abbreviate the names.…I call my layers c1, c2, c3 for clean up one, clean up two or clean up three.…
Here let's name this one c1, and I'm going to start in a clockwise orientation…using the Spot Healing Brush with Content -Aware and Sample All Layers turned on.…What I mean by clockwise is I'll start up here at the top of the photograph, and…what you want to do is kind of settle into this process. Put on some good music.…You're going to make sure you don't have any tension in your shoulders and that…you have good posture and just settle into focusing in on all of these little details.…
