02 RETOUCH IN<br />

CAMERA RAW<br />

Although <strong>Photoshop</strong> offers more<br />

fine control, you can still give<br />

your portraits a quick, effective<br />

makeover in Camera Raw. The<br />

first step is to remove spots and<br />

blemishes with the Spot Removal<br />

tool. Once done, you can get<br />

stuck in with the Adjustment<br />

Brush. To soften the skin, grab<br />

the Adjustment Brush from the<br />

Tools panel and dial in Clarity -50.<br />

Then simply paint over the skin<br />

with the brush to give it a soft,<br />

smooth feel.<br />

Be very careful not to go over<br />

detailed areas like the eyes.<br />

(Hold Alt and paint to subtract<br />

if you do.) You can also use the<br />

Adjustment Brush to boost<br />

eyes by loading it with positive<br />

Contrast, Clarity, Exposure and<br />

Saturation. When using the tool<br />

there are a few vital shortcuts:<br />

use ] and [ to resize the brush<br />

tip; press Y to toggle the mask<br />

overlay on or off; and hold Alt<br />

to erase parts of the mask.
