To demonstrate the whole process of portrait retouching service, we are going to look in details the process of editing a portrait step-by-step. In order to do this, we will review each step, and show a long way of professional processing of the portrait. It should be borne in mind that a professional photo taken by experienced photographer using a professional camera was used for processing. If you initially use poor-quality photo, then you will not be able to achieve the same results after retouching.
(Stages of processing photos of other genres will be different)
In some cases it is possible to change the color of the hair, add more hair, dental treatment: alignment, whitening.
Below, we will take a closer look at each step and give an example to it.
Often there is the flyaway hair in the photo, which for some reason was not fixed properly. Perhaps, this is the most noticeable step; therefore, it is better to start portrait retouching with it.
This is a kind of plastic surgery but in Photoshop. At this step, the forms of the nose, lips, ears, teeth, face oval are fixed.
Each photo is individual, so for some images it's enough to correct the nose of a model, but sometimes it is needed to fix every facial feature. It also depends on the type of picture, if it's a fashion photo, then everything should be ideal, and when you need a natural retouch of a personal photo - only the most critical forms are a bit corrected.
It means large size. In this case, these are the hair near the ear, small wrinkles on the neck and spots on the skin. Yes, these are considered major imperfections, small imperfections means that every pore on the face needs retouching, literally every pixel.
If a model on this portrait had deep wrinkles or pimples on the skin - they would also have to be removed at this stage.
This is exactly the case when in the process of retouching the photo is zoomed in to every pixel. Thus, the skin texture is smoothed. This is the most difficult and painstaking work, which can sometimes take up to ten hours. It is this step that some retouchers do not like to do, and the beginners do not know how to do this. Trying to save their time and make the work easier, they decide to use other techniques that do not require so many skills and time. As a result, the skin becomes artificial, plastic. This spoils the whole portrait and the overall impression of the photo. Therefore, it is important to do this step of retouching qualitatively, or otherwise it is better to just skip it.
As well as the previous step, this step is very important and complex. It is necessary not only to know how to do this, but also to see how to draw it, how the light should appear, and where a shadow should be. To know this you need to have an art education. This work gives the portrait a volume, making it more realistic.
This is not an obligatory step, the implementation of which remains at the discretion of the retoucher. In most large portraits (it can be a full-length portrait) this stage is often not superfluous.
As they say, the inner world of a person is reflected in the eyes. The portrait, as a result of this work, looks more expressive. At this step, sharpness is added, the contours of the eye and eyelashes are drawn. In a literal sense, each new cilium is drawn from scratch, and it is very important to draw it realistically.
As in the previous step, when each cilium is drawn by hand, in this step each eyebrow hair is drawn by hand. If necessary, the shape and color of the eyebrows are corrected.
As the shape of the lips was corrected at the second step, now the contours of the lips are being processed. The lip shade is corrected (in some cases the color of the lipstick changes) and shine is added.
Sharpness plays a big role in portrait photography. Therefore, it is extremely important to fix it correctly. Some details should be less sharped, and the others - more sharp. With sharpening, the shade looks different, it becomes more alive due to the correction of sharpness.
For this portrait a general color correction was performed; we used a special calibrated monitor, the photo was processed in the sRGB mode - a special color profile for the Internet.
Color correction is very specific, because someone likes it when the colors of the portrait are more vivid, and someone likes cooler colors. Someone likes a classic, someone likes modernism :)
When almost all phones have a good built-in camera, and social networks are accessible from anywhere and anytime - all people want their photos to look perfect. Most people, when seeing beautiful portrait of a friend in the newsline also want to upload their own stunning photo. But what if the photo still does not turn out so beautiful? If you start to see into, it becomes clear that the photo was taken by a professional photographer, and after that the professional portrait editing was performed.
Usually the photographers do not edit each photo, as a rule, photographers retouch 10 portrait photos and deliver them to the customer, and the rest of the photographs are delivered as they are, without retouching. These photos are usually not posted on social networks.
Often photographers after a photoshoot edit only a small amount of photos, which is specified before shooting. In this case, photographers perform only basic retouching of the portrait. It is impossible to be an excellent photographer and an excellent editor at the same time, the specialist always does only one job very good, and has basic knowledge in other areas. Therefore, before shooting, it should be clarified who will retouch portrait photos - a photographer or a professional editor, who will be able to perform professional processing of the portraits and how many pictures will be processed.
The fact that you found a specialist, unfortunately, does not guarantee that he or she would perform a qualitative retouch. To make sure of the high quality of the work, take a look at the portfolio, examples of works. In professional portrait retouching it is very important that after processing the photo looks natural, beautiful and at the same time the texture of the skin is preserved. Very often, lazy or novice retouchers use ineffective methods when enhancing a portrait. This can be clearly seen when retouching skin, they try to clean it and give it a beautiful appearance, but the skin becomes plastic, dead, waxy and fuzzy. Just zoom the photo and look at the skin and pores on it (if the photo's resolution allows this to be done).
In addition to professional photo retouching, the quality of the image is very important. It is impossible to make a fashion magazine portrait using an amateur photo taken on a phone. Sometimes people believe that it is enough to take a picture of yourself on the front camera of your phone or in the reflection in the mirror and give this photo to the editor who will make it look like a magazine cover photo. Unfortunately, in this case, this is impossible. Otherwise, why do magazines spend a lot of money to hire a pro photographer, assistant, make-up artist, models, if you could take a picture with a simple phone and then just make a post-production? The success of the result depends not only on the retoucher but equally on the skills of the photographer and the equipment that is used when shooting.
To make a perfect portrait, the photographer needs to use a good camera, and the retoucher requires the proper devices and software. A professional photographer is able to take a photo on a mobile phone, but the result is much worse than in a photo taken by an expensive camera using professional equipment - lens, flash, filters, reflectors and umbrellas.
