Assignment 4: Portrait Retouching


Choose an image from your conceptual portrait project to retouch, using the techniques as taught in class. When choosing an image, please be sure that the images is sharp (in focus) and the face is prominent within the frame. The above image is a good example.

Please exercise the following approaches and skills:

Retouching:
  • Original photo should be full resolution file (RAW, or highest quality JPEG). Retouching should be via Camera RAW as well as required Photoshop techniques
  • Image should demonstrate significant (but reasonable) alteration of subject appearance (eye color, hair color, clothing color, skin alterations, etc.)
  • Frequency separations to modify/optimize skin texture (see resource link below)
  • Layer (with blending mode) to modify eye color
  • Layer (with advanced blending/blending mode) to modify hair color
  • Global tone and color adjustments
  • Local adjustments as required
  • Anything else (only the above are required)
  • Turn in PSD file with ALL LAYERS. Do not rasterize your RAW smart object or adjustment layers; always retouch onto a blank layer.
