Desaturate. Again, adjust the brush dynamics
as they work for you; I like small, soft brushes
set to low Opacity. You can always brush
over again to build up the effect, not unlike a
toothbrush in this case. Notice how close I’ve
zoomed to get the teeth, but not the gums. If I
did misstep, I have a Restore brush and several
levels of Undo to lean on.
STEP FOUR: You can use Color for digital
make up, changing the tones in a sunset, the
color of hair, or in this case, my eyes. My tip
here is to select a very diluted version of
the color you like and set Opacity at 50% or
less. With one eye colored, you can see the
difference before and after. The Color Picker
shows how the selected color can be a bit
misleading—remember Undo and Restore are
your friends.
Step Three
STEP FIVE: Clearly, I could spend a lot more
time on my tired, old, face, but the last thing
I’ll do is apply a vignette. Note that these can
be applied off-center and you can control the
shape and even color of the overlay.
STEP SIX: Here’s the finished product shown
with some of the options I now have. Sending
to Photoshop will translate the image into
individual layers, masks, and adjustment layers,
and a full-resolution PSD file will await you in
Photoshop CC.
Step Four
Liquify is one feature that’s much more
fun to try than describe! Take a picture of
yourself or a friend, bring it into Fix’s Liquify,
and click on Face. Points are auto-magically
placed on eyes, nose, chin, jaw, etc. I’ll
warn you now, this is addictive! All operations
in Fix are layers under the hood. That’s
what allows you to revisit and edit each at
any point, except for Liquify, which flattens
your image. For that reason, I recommend
Liquifying first.
