While I'm no expert at Photoshop, I have made myself practice several different skills such as dodging and burning, liquifying, blurring backgrounds, and most importantly, airbrushing. In almost every professional photograph it is extremely rare for the subject to not be completely airbrushed, especially in magazines. I don't always agree with the extent of work put in to make someone look absolutely flawless in every ad or spread, but I decided to try it out for myself. Don't get me wrong, I think every one of my models/subjects are beautiful, but I wanted to try out a Photoshop technique that professional photographers use for smoothing skin and making the overall photograph look perfect.
Following this step-by-step video helped me TREMENDOUSLY!
Without it, I wouldn't have known what to do!
