Hello! I was asked in the comments how Retouch4me Heal plugin handles portraits where models have freckles on their faces, so I recorded this video. I took several photos from two series. The first series was shot outdoors with natural light. Here the freckles are pale and they are not so noticeable on the face. And I have some photos of the model in the studio. There are more freckles here and they are more noticeable. Let's see how Retouch4me Heal plugin deals with retouching these photos. Special thanks to Ksenia Smagina and Olga Amethist for all their photos!
I’m launching Retouch4me Heal plugin. The photo was taken on a sunny spring day, there is a lot of light in the photo, perhaps because of this freckles look not so noticeable. Let's see what happened. Here is before, here is after. Some of the freckles have disappeared from the face, but the plugin removed only the most noticeable freckles. You can reduce the depth of the retouching so that more freckles remain on a face. Much better. Look! The pimples are still removed from the neck and the face.
The next photo. Let's see how Retouch4me Heal plugin handles it. There are pimples on the jaw line. Therefore, I will select High resolution retouching mode and run the plugin using this mode. The previous portrait was quite large, in this photo the girl's face takes a much smaller part of the frame. And here's what happened. This is the photo before and after. I removed the pimples from the photo, but the freckles did not suffer here.
Now let's launch the plugin on the next photo. Here the portrait is large, so I tick off High resolution checkbox. Here is the photo before, here is after. Some of the freckles are gone, but most of them remained on the face. The most noticeable freckles, which stand out against the general background, have disappeared. In my opinion, the picture got better.
Let's move on to the next series and process the studio shots. In this photo, the model has many more freckles, they are more noticeable and have different shape and size. Here's what happened. The retouching depth can be increased. Here is the original and here is the photo after. The plugin removes only the most visible freckles, but along with them, other defects disappear from the face.
I'm moving on to the next photo. I’m launching the plugin and waiting. Here is the original and now see the after version. In my opinion, the picture after retouching with the plugin became cleaner than it was before retouching.
And here's the last photo, let's see how Retouch4me Heal plugin copes with it. Let's take a closer look. Here is before and here is after. Pay attention, that large freckles, which are the darkest and have irregular shape, have disappeared and most likely the retoucher would have removed them anyway. Let's see the whole photo. It definitely didn't get any worse. Some of the freckles have disappeared, but the picture has only become softer, the skin looks smoother. Let's see the original resolution. Here is the photo before, and here is after. Before / after, before / after. The freckles were removed seamlessly, the skin texture is preserved. The photo looks more harmonious after using the plugin. In any case, if you are doing retouching on a new layer, it will not be difficult for you to restore the lost freckles.
That's all. Leave your opinion in the comments. Retouching plugins are available at retouch4.me. Bye everyone!
