Hi there in this video, we are going to do retouching of the eyes. I'm turning it on and off to see the before and after, we're just doing subtle adjustments. We can go the full monty and kind of go full blown. I've been here in Photoshop retouching mode. We'll show you both. You'll also see we do more than just the eyes as well. We kind of go off on a bit of a tangent and show you how to use the exact same tools that we use for the eyes to work with. Say, like the hair and the jawline. Alright, let's jump into it. Now let's open up our image. Let's go to file, it's gonna open And then you're retouching file. We're going to use eyes. 01. The first thing to do is we need to duplicate this layer because we want to be able to go back to it later on and see what the original looked like. So right click it. So you duplicate layer. Gonna call this one retouch. Now we do the whites of the eyes first and we use it. I'm zooming a little bit, We're going to use the dodge tool. So the dodge tool,...

depending on what last tool you use is in this little group here, there's this little paddle thing here. Okay with it selected up the top here. We use this a little earlier when we did our paint drips okay. And mid tones work. Great. Then in this case because we're working on the whites of the eyes or the highlights in the eyes. We want to be on highlights. Now exposure, we're gonna have it 50 years is probably said like that by default Brush size. Something appropriate in the eye here, I've got 70 and I've made sure my brush hardness is down to zero. Now the protect tones is optional, It works fine with it on in this case, but if you're working, you're finding it, it's making the eyes kind of really gray. You might try turning that off and all we need to do. Make sure when I'll retouch layer and click hold and kind of drag over a little bit. Now I've kept mine quite high at so that you can kind of see what I'm doing. I'm just kind of little bits now that is way too high. What I mean by that is just kind of coming on real strong. I leave it at 50 just so that you can see what I'm doing when I'm actually doing it. I'm undoing. I'm stepping backwards, stepping backwards. Okay, I'll often be at something like 20% and build it up slowly, but it's a little hard to see when you're kind of just working it up slowly. So maybe a slightly smaller brush, clicking, dragging cooking. I want the whites of the eyes. I want the reflections on the eyes to be a bit brighter as well. And don't worry if you go a bit too far, I think I've got a little bit too far there a little bit too far there, crank that up because what we'll do is let's zoom back a little bit is because it's on its own layer at the end. When we finish this, we're going to turn down the opacity, watch this, I turn it right down. Just find this kind of happy medium of like believability versus overcooked Photoshop CS. So it's okay to be a little bit overcooked because you can just lower the opacity, showing the layer underneath those amount. And I'm going to tap the eyeball on my butt off. So that's kind of how to fix the whites of the eyes. I feel like I've gone a little bit too far over here. So that's the dodge tool. Okay, lightens things up, I'm gonna have the capacity back 100% for the moment. And let's grab the burn tool, which darkens things. We've used it for shadows in the past. It's really handy for a couple of things when you're retouching, one is fixed up eyebrows, it's not fixing them up and just kind of like giving them an extra bit of fullness. You can also use it to kind of enhance cheekbones. So I've got mine on mid tones, I've got the exposure up probably too high because I'm going to turn it down to like 20%, you can see up there and I'm just going to kind of tweak in here, not too much just to enhance the kind of jaw line on off, it's not particularly subtle, but you get what I mean, right? So dodging kind of lifts the eyes and the burn tool kind of helps you fill in a bit of the moodiness will lower down the overall capacity at the end. One last thing I'll do when I'm doing this type of thing is to play with the saturation and it's a mixture of de saturating and saturating. What I mean by that is this thing here called the sponge tools. We have used dodge burn, well used the sponge tool and by default I think it's set to de saturate and that can be really handy. I'm going to go down here, it's probably set a little high at 50% but I guess I just want to show you how it's working, there's some colors kind of yellow, I can double click that a couple of times, it's a little hard to see okay, but it just kind of removes some of that kind of yellow penis that can come through on the I. D. Saturation. What I use a lot more of is the saturation. Okay and I'm going to pick a slightly big brush, the size and I'm going to saturate the eyes just a little bit, I'm just clicking once or twice, 12344 times even. Okay, so there's just a little bit more of the exact same color and they're just, they're just a little bit more of it. Same with the here, I'm going to pick a nice big paintbrush way bigger using my square brackets. Okay. And I'm just going to click hold and drag across the hair a little bit. It's hard to know how much it's doing smaller for across here, but they go in here, so gone too far. That's okay Because we're going to lower the opacity, but but can you see what I mean by the head, just getting a little bit richer and I'm I'm also going like, I guess 50% over because I know I'm going to tone down the opacity, which I've said 1000 times already, but I don't want you judging my retouching. Not yet anyway. Okay, now I'm going to lower the opacity and just kind of find a happy blend between zero and 100 100. Too much. Zero, Nothing. And just find this kind of realistic but happy medium minefields about 40% really depends on what you're going for. If you're going full glam, then you might crank it up to like 200%. Start using the burn tool to put in mascara, really enhance that jawline, but guess I'm trying to go for believability. It's hard when you're a retouch because for you to do your job really well, people need to not know that you had anything to do with it. Like there's no job recognition. You meant to, if people think, oh great, that's being Photoshop, you've done a bad job. Alright, so we used the dodge tool to lighten parts, we use the burn tool to darken parts and we use the sponge tool to both de saturate the eyes and saturate the things we want colored. You could do the same for the lips, you could de saturate that background there to kind of enhance the model, to bring the model forward. What I want you to do is to practice your skills to go to file open. Okay, And there's one in here called Aiso to I want you to do the same thing here, dodging, burning and using the sponge tool. But don't forget, before you get started is duplicating that layer so that you can turn it back later on here might also be a good time to just touch up. There's a couple of spots on the skin using the spot healing brush that we learned earlier on. Alright, let's get into the next video where we look at teeth in particular. If you are working on this, when you start working on the teeth and it does something weird, goes gray or yellow, I'm going to show you some tricks for that in the next video. See over there
