Photography Question 

Sisterlisa B
 

Clear Skin?


How does everyone deal with skin issues? I see so many photos here where the children have perfect flawless skin. Are they touched up? Is there a setting that would alleviate this or just photoshopping? ;O)

  I use a program called, I think Kodak Digital Gem, something like that. It is on my laptop, not here at work. It works great to give that porcelain look especially to babies. Good luck.

  I use photoshop. Even when there is a good makeup artist at the shoot, there are still some touch ups necessary. Back in the day it was air brushed, now we do it on a computer.

There are a number of different ways to go about it, but this tutorial works pretty well.

Remember, some details need to stay sharp, like eyes, lips, and the edges of the skin. Eyes especially. If the eyes are soft, the image will suffer.

Lisa I use portrait professional, you have to use it while your online but it takes a lot of work off you doing it all spot by spot. I paid $49.00 and you get a Cd to download it or download it straight from them you get a free trial offer too, if needed you can do any touch ups later.
