In this lesson you will see the process of wonderful natural processing without using third-party plug-ins and filters.
For convenience, the lesson is divided into two parts.

In the first part of the lesson you will see:

- Preparation of images in Cam Raw. Already at this stage we will significantly improve the image. Pull the details out of the shadows, add volume, make a preliminary correction of the skin tone. And also, here you will learn why to open images from the converter, as smart objects
- crop. Let's expand the canvas
- background montage. Dorisovka, installation of hair and clothes of the model
- we will work on the hairstyle and face details with the Plastic filter
- technical retouching
- get rid of red and purple tones on the model's skin
- natural skin retouching by the method of lightening / darkening
- finalize the bottom of the image. Techniques for mounting and completing clothes.
- eye treatment. We remove the extraneous shade. We use the "Quick mask" for a neat retouch of small details
- we remove extraneous shades from the skin
- skin tone correction

In the second part of the lesson:

- drawing light / shadow drawing. Draw the volume.
- drawing eyes. The expressive eyes in portrait photography guarantee us 90% success. We focus on the eyes - we strengthen the expressiveness of the look
- we add glare. Using this technique for portraits adds drama, magically animating it
- we add highlights to the lips. Lip finishes
- the first stage of working with "dirty" shadows - stretch the shadows in the CMYK space
- by applying the "Channel Mixing" adjustment layer, we can easily make a nice skin color.
- add volume - mix channels
- correction in LAB. At this stage of processing, you will see a wonderful way how to add shine to the hair gently and correctly, and add softness, radiance, contrast and color to the image ...
- in the CAM RAW filter, add cold shades to the background and eye color
- in the adjustment layer “Curves” ", we’ll raise the master curve in the lights, working with each channel separately. Thus, we add light and warmth to the image
- applying textures, we diversify the background a bit. The first texture will bring the effect of a little glow and warmth to the image
- the next texture will add warm shades and small details in the form of cracks and scuffs to the image
- add sharpness and show details
- separate correction of the tone and saturation of the lips
- working with the adjustment layer "Channel Mixing" - show freckles
- the 2nd stage of work with shadows. Here you will learn that a shadow, by and large, is not black. And to finally get rid of the dirt in the shadows, add color to the shadow.
- an extremely useful technique, like working with channels, to remove the remaining blackness from shadows, in CMYK space
- in one simple technique - we return the volume and contrast to the image
- final refinement, elaboration of image details. Using simple steps, we smooth out the spots remaining after working with shadows and the overall skin tone. The skin is smoothed, acquires a pleasant radiant shade ...
