Research and Planning: Skin tutorial

The skin tutorial showed us some of the more different uses for Photoshop as well as the tools. Are aim was to get her to magazine vogue style. we started with the picture of this lady but she had a couple of defects and no make up.
we started by using the smart blur effect this faded and slightly blued the picture on  a new layer by copying the first original picture and fading its opacity to around 60% it got rid of large blemishes and the flash shine in the right cheek.Next we used a couple of tools which include the paint brushes with the opacity and mode changed to give the blusher effect to the cheeks and the eye lasses this was also on a new layer . also using similar tools I changed her hair colour giving shading and hight lights. To get rid of her spots the clone stamp picked a area free of spots and stamp it over the spot, this gets rid off all spots but doesn't make it  noticeable.
