Acne photos can spoil the best and no foreshortening can not save a picture when the face shows a rash. How to fix the situation? Perhaps, it is better to disguise the pimple before shooting, or can you neutralize the defect with the help of modern computer technology, which today is a great variety? Masking with tonal means is unlikely to help, since all good cameras have high resolution properties that can capture and capture every small detail.
Of course, the all-powerful photoshop will come to the aid, which is more correctly called the graphic editor Adobe Photoshop. This rather easy-to-use program helps not only to retouch any image at will, but also to create various effects, collages and so on. In principle, today you can not particularly care about makeup or skin defects, all this will fix Photoshop
Acne photos will not spoil if you have any version of this program installed.
It is enough to follow the instructions and just try to process any photo.
- You need to start the program and in the "main menu" open the file (upper left corner).
- Find the window "Open", it will drop out the list of folders where you need to select the image to be processed. Point it at the cursor, and then on the function "open". The photo is loaded into the program and ready to be processed.
- We find the main panel of the program, we are looking for a special graphic tool called the "point regenerating brush". The cursor is directed to the "brush" and in the list we select the next tool under the significant name "patch" in our case.
- Now you need to use the left side of the computer mouse to select a zone in the photo that you need to decorate and improve. Carefully draw the place of processing as smoothly as possible.
- Then you need to move the allocated place to a clean area of skin. While holding the left mouse button on the defect place, move it with the cursor to the nearby zone. It turns out the present "photovoltaics" - the pimple disappears, and in its place pure skin is visible.
- The procedure can be repeated as many times as you find in your photo of acne.
- Sometimes contours are visible in the zone of defect displacement. We find in the main toolbar a tool called "blur", in the list we also look for the definition "blur", which we press with the left mouse button.
- With the left button, without releasing it, we "blur" the outlines with smooth movements.
Acne photos can not spoil if you do not have them before the photo session, but besides the magic editing program, there are a few more recommendations that will help make the pictures really effective.
- The skin needs to be prepared. If there are rashes, pigmented lesions or small pimples, you can try to hide them with the help of special correctors. Apply correctors followed by small dots and then carefully shading. On the reddened places it is necessary to apply a means of a greenish shade, the yellow areas of the skin well disguises the purple tint by the principle of contrasting color neutralization.
- If the face has small pimples and eruptions, the tonal remedy should be sufficiently dense and matte.
- If the skin is not perfect, there are pimples and small defects on it, you need to carefully choose the lighting that should be frontal (the photographer and the model opposite each other). Any other lighting - on the side, behind, only aggravate and show skin problems in the picture.
Acne photo is not an obstacle, if you correctly choose the means for their disguise, lighting for shooting. And everything else can be fixed with the help of almighty Adobe Photoshop.
