Very nice tutorial! I never thought of using noise for detail.

(for people with patience) If you set your blur tool to about 25% instead of 100%, and slowly blur the skin by layering, you won't lose the detail of your skin, while still being able to "get rid of those nasty imperfections" (as I like to say for myself, hah).

thank you so much! great tutorial, i will definitely be practicing on my pics!

THANK YOU !!!! I downloaded the program months ago and couldn't even begin to figure it out. I am going to try a pic with this tut. Thanks again!

I had to get in on the action... I did mine a little differently but you get the idea

Hmmmm...........well I downloaded the CS2 version and it's really cool. I'm not sure if I was using the blur tool wrong (I don't think so), but I didn't get the same effect on my skin as you did-?
Anyway-here is the pic I tried to do, but decided to do something artsy since I couldn't get myself to look plastic

 

[Shimmer]

Was it set at 100% and did you oversharpen?


You're so freaking gorgeous.

i think u might have added to much noise to the picture.. i had a try using ur picture setting the noise at 0.1% anything more than that it looked to noisy...

anyhow im not that great at PSing but i try and still learning

I had the brush at 19px, hardness at 50 and then there is a little menu off to the right that I set at 100. Is that right?

 

[Shimmer]

Where it says "strength" should be set at 100% (or adjusted for desired effect).

 

[M]

I double checked and I did have strength at 100%. Maybe I'll try a different picture. The program is SO FUN to play with tho. I'm really going to enjoy the filter effects for scrapbooking

 

[Shimmer]

PMing you.
