Smooth Out Skin on Color Layer

1. Work on the Color Layer

Picture
You will do the following steps on the Color Layer. You can turn the Texture Layer off if it helps to see your work. You can also keep it on to see how it will work with the two layers combined.  

Select the Color Layer.



2. Use the Clone Stamp Tool

Picture
You will use the Clone Stamp Tool to begin to smooth out your facial skin tones.  You are looking to blend splotches in with the rest of your skin tones. It might help to turn the Before and Texture Layers off so you can see your work.  

The Clone Stamp Tool works by sampling an area while you press Option and Clicking with your mouse.  Then when you click the area you selected will replace the sampled area.  This is best learned with the trial by fire method.  If you need further instruction on how the Clone Stamp Tool works check out this page.

Before you Clone Stamp away set the Opacity and Flow both to 30-50%. (See Below).  You will want to also set the brush hardness to 0%.

3. Clone Stamp Away 

Picture
Use the Clone Stamp tool on the Color Layer until you have smoothed out your skin tones until they appear more uniform in tone. Your objective again is to smooth out color inconsistencies on the color layer. 


4.  Save your work and move on...

Picture
Compare your Before Layer to the work you have completed.  By clicking this layer on and off you may see areas you might want to continue working on.

Save your project.


You are now setup and ready to move onto the next step: Remove Blemishes on Texture Layer.
