Quick Fix for Smoother Skin

A quick tip for smoothing skin on portraits. Using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, if you move the clarity slider to the left, your image will become less sharp, and as a result, skin will appear smooth. This is great for portraits where you want to smooth out small wrinkles and imperfections on the skin. To return sharpness to certail facial features, such as the eyes, you can use the retouch brush. Slide the clarity slider of the retouch brush to the right the same amount as you slid the master clarity slider to the left, and you will negate the effects of the clarity adjustment in the areas you paint over.
