Re: Assistance Requested with Skin Processing

I would agree with Cupcake.
If your RAW file can't bring it back with the recovery, I'd just airbrush back the skin color.

Try using Freqency Seperation, I find it best for airbrushing without messing up the details.

Hey guys, my first time posting on this forum.
I've messed around with this image for quite some time and I have no where else to turn to.

Re: sharpening technique

Depending on what you are sharpening i guess.
Normally I would use unsharp mask and or highpass filter. Of course I would then use another mask to only put the sharpening on where I want it.
