How amazing you explanation is! Sir you are really expert ❤❤❤

Amazing tutorial, Rikard. Thank you!

This is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen on KZfaq. Thanks for the video.

I like the mixer brush technique for blurring the color instead of just using Gaussian blur. 👍🏻 Thanks for showing all the different methods in one comprehensive video.

Sir! I really love your every tutorial but this time it's amazingly amazing. ❤️❤️ Please please please continue the series of skin retouching, beauty retouching, contouring and Highlight. Thanks 🙏 Love from #PAKISTAN 🇵🇰

Great video! Your explanation of the mixer brush was so helpful. I might actually be able to use it now!

Very clear explanation, wonderful you also give the theory I now understand it much more! I will watch again and use the photo's you give to practice myself!

Very nice tutorial. Thank you.

Okay your thumbnail. I’m gonna drag you. You just pumped up that clarity and pretend it’s “oh my god, look at it now!”

excellet- thank you so much.

Super!

Fabulous tutorial particularly the theory and mixture brush sections. Could you do a tutorial an restoraton of a severly damage photo (lost detail and texture, uneven skin tones, faded areas, etc.?

The correct settings in “Apply Image” for 16 bit images are ‘Add’ instead of ‘Subtract’ for Blending, and with ‘Invert’ RGB Channel checked, and ‘Offset’ set to 0. Otherwise you will find the result slightly brighter than the original.

Can you do a class on retouching, repairing and restoring very old photos? I have watched other videos of other people stuff but the photos I have are in extremely bad shape. I want to bring clarity to them if possible. I am sure the originals were probably from old tin types at one time. I know one of them is. They are washed out looking, and the darks blend in many areas (not sharp) as well as spots and other damage in some. They are my personal photos that I am trying to restore for my family.

Rikard, Love your channel and assets. Thanks so much. Since I’m strictly amateur and no spring chicken myself, my “portraits” tend to be photos of older women, some of whom have many deep lines and crinkles, particularly under and around the eyes and around the mouth. I’m not looking to eliminate these lines because that looks totally unrealistic, but I do want to reduce them somewhat so they don’t overwhelm the picture. I generally use the healing brush tools and then reduce opacity, but it can be difficult because I’m healing or cloning relatively large areas. I’d really be interested to learn how you’d approach a difficult, weathered face like this. Bob K

Thanks little brother! What is your go-to (preferred method) method?

Very well explained, thank you RR! One question - and my apologies if you've already answered it and I missed it - but around @10:00 with that patch of skin, how do you extract JUST the Texture onto its own layer? (I'm afraid your answer will be obvious and I will end up feeling a fool, but I go ahead anyway. 😬) Thanks again, Roger.
