Once upon a time, plastic skin was a scourge in the industry. Removing all the details from a person’s face and converting it into a freakish cartoon was a trend back then. Fortunately, we’ve arrived at a far healthier place regarding beauty standards. Yes, some brands will always demand exaggerated skin retouching. But for most brands, following the less is more approach for skin retouching. In this blog, let’s discover a new technique to get smooth and natural skin in one click.
Skin Retouching Using autoRetouch:
For many shutterbugs, the most labor-intensive part of their job isn’t snapping the photos; it’s the editing afterward. Besides, the process is time-consuming and requires attention to detail. But what if we tell you there was a way to automate the entire process? With autoRetouch, you can remove blemishes and achieve natural skin with one tap.
Unlike other AI-driven tools, this component can segment the skin from the body parts. Nails, lips, nostrils, eyes, eyebrows, and beards are spared from the selection, and the effects are applied only to the actual areas of the skin. The algorithm is trained to understand the skin has color shifts, pores, and imperfections. The transition between skin tones becomes unnatural when the editing is taken too far. And experts know it’s not pretty. However, the Skin Retouching component from autoRetouch puts an end to the dreaded, fake-looking plastic skin era.
How does autoRetouch’s Skin Retouching Component Work?
The Skin Retouch component features two options that are only applied to the area of the skin of a human model.
Component Settings:
1. Mole Removal:
When switched on, the algorithm identifies the dark skin moles and replaces them with skin that matches the surrounding. It functions the same way as the Spot Healing brush from Photoshop.
2. Airbrushing:
When applied, the algorithm will use a professional airbrushing (Gaussian Blur & Highpass) on the identified area of the skin. However, the component leaves some skin pores visible for a natural yet refined look. You can configure the effect’s intensity with the slider’s help.
Further, you can chain it up with other components like Remove Background or Set on Canvas. This becomes especially powerful when you have loads of images on stock and rushing towards a close deadline. Also, did we forget that autoRetouch lets you bulk-edit 100 images at once?
Conclusion:
Remember, skin retouching is not about changing one’s looks; it’s a way to enhance their features. Like the experts say, Enhanced is better than perfect. If you need a helping hand to bring out the best of your model shots, remember autoRetouch has got your back. So why not produce some professional yet subtle photos together?
