His skin tone make him look good in the Photo but here’s where most people run Into this problem where if I adjust his Skin tone start adjusting his face while His face might look better it affects Everything around him infects his hair The background his shirt and it doesn’t Really work so what we want to do is we Want to create control in our image and That’s really easy to do we’re going to Go all the way to the top right hand Corner and we’re going to pick masking Which is a little circle and we’re going To create a mask around our subject if You don’t know what a mask is it’s Basically a constraint just around Specific parts of your image as you can See here is Adam is now in color and Everything around him is black and white This way we know exactly what parts of The image we’re adjusting now if I go in There adjust the highlights a little bit Bring up the highlights adjust the Shadow you can see that I’m only Affecting Adam and immediately I’m able To make Adam stand out from the Background and immediately Adam looks a Lot better in this photo this is where We started and this is where we are now He immediately looks a lot better but The background is still just too bright And it stops Adam from standing out so We’re going to go back into our masking Click the plus sign up here select
Background and now the background is in Color and Adam is in black and white Because we’re only adjusting the Background and what we’re going to do is We’re going to do a really simple Adjustment I’m just going to take out The exposure in the background not by a Lot but just by 0.577 so that’s like half a stop of Light and then I’m just going to add a Little bit of contrast adjust the Highlights a little bit And just like that Adam now stands out From the background to show you guys What we had before so what we have now It kind of looks like Adam is separated And he looks more in focus and on top of That I’m just going to do a slight crop To this image to really Center him in This way he is without a doubt the focal Point of this image so over here we have A pretty good photo of Adam but his skin Tone still looks way too yellow and skin Tone is so important when it comes to Looking attractive on camera because Your skin is what people look at to Determine if you’re healthy and you’re In good shape and if you have bad skin It makes you look unhealthy and Unattractive but let’s take a quick sec Because I want to make sure your Computer is protected so I pretty much Live my entire life on my laptop and Cell phone more specifically my internet

Clone in a race and I’ll show you how to Use all three of them separately first Up we’re going to go into healing and Then we’re going to hit Z on our Keyboard and it’s going to zoom into Adam’s face we’re going to put the Feather of this brush all the way to 100 Opacity to 100 so it’s very soft and Very subtle and for size it will really Depend on how big the spots that you Want to take out are if you’re on a MacBook you can use two fingers to make The uh brush bigger smaller if you’re on A PC you can use the clicky wheel in the Middle of your mouse but that will make Your brush bigger or smaller I tend to Go with as small as possible because I Want to affect just the parts that I Want to change so I’m going to go in Here let’s just start taking out all of His beauty marks and pimples And just like that Adam looks way Healthier but he still has some wrinkles On his forehead so for that I’m going to Go into my clone stamp clone stamp is Much better for bigger patches of your Skin and I’m just going to go in there With a small brush and take out his Wrinkle it won’t be perfect but it Really doesn’t have to be because you Have to remember people are going to be Looking at the whole photo not super Close up and just in case there’s some Hair in the way I recommend using the
Erase tool Instead This is an Intelligent filter that’s actually going To just intelligently look at what it’s Erasing and just take it right out so I’m going to take out his little bits of Hair And with that he looks significantly Better just to remind you guys we Started off here and now we are here Everything about this photo so far it Looks really really good but his skin Just still looks a little too harsh a Little too dry and it doesn’t have that Soft look that you want so for that We’re going to create another filter but This is going to be super easy and much Easier than the filter we used before I’m going to click back onto the filters Hit the plus sign and this time we’re Going to select people and Lightroom now Is intelligent enough to figure out Where the people in your photo are I’m Going to click on Adam’s face and it’s Going to give me a ton of options I’m Going to have the option of making a Face skin body filter eyebrows eyes Iris Pupil everything hair lips whatever you Want now I don’t recommend getting too Too crazy with these filters but for me I’m going to pick face skin Um his lips his eyes And here and it’s going to create a mask For all of those things now one thing to Know people will look crazy when you’re
Working with these masks because the Mask is just going to highlight the part That you’re working on and not the rest Of the image so they’re going to look Like they have makeup on or something so I’m going to go down here to his face Filter one thing that I don’t like about It is that his skin wasn’t included so I’m going to click on this filter hit The plus sign right down here and go Down to brush and I’m also going to Click Auto mask what this is going to Let me do is just brush in the rest of His skin with auto mask selected it’s Really hard to mess it up it’s going to Stop you from going out of bounds but With this I now have a really good mask On his overall face and the next part is Super easy I’m going to click the top Part of this panel go to custom and I’m Going to go to skin soften light and It’s going to just make all of his skin Really really soft for my liking this is A little bit too much so what skin Soften really does it lowers the clarity And the texture in your skin and while That looks good I’m going to just lower The adjust the amount that it’s being Applied and I’m going to go to about 44 40 somewhere in the 50s you can just Kind of eyeball it if you hit Z you can Zoom into your image and just kind of go In there and Eyeball it see where just Right about where it looks good let me
Just quickly show you guys what it looks Like without End with it’s really subtle but it’s Just going to take the harshness out of His skin if you guys want to do more Adjustments you can you could go down There remove eye bags with the healing Tool whatever you need to do to make Your model or subject matter look as Attractive as possible but with that his Skin is now a little bit softer it has a Soft glow to it but it also kind of Makes his face look a little bit flatter So on the same filter we’re going to add Just a little bit of contrast to his Face just so that it gives the light a Little bit of shape I’m going to lower The highlights a little bit here and I’m Going to bring down the blacks just so That his face has a little bit more Contrast to it again this is where we Started and this is where we are now and Overall if I just had to give this photo To Adam I think he’d be very very happy If you guys wanted you guys could go in There adjust your hair adjust the lips Adjust the eyes what everything you want But I think in most cases less is more But I’m still not completely happy with This image because there’s a few things That I can do that are pretty easy to do That are really going to make this image Pop and next up what I want to do is I Want to do another thing to make him
Stand out from the background I’m going To go back into mass and select radial Gradient what that’s going to allow me To do is make this make a circle onto my Image and what I want to do is I want to place it right around the Focal point of my image here it’s I’m Going to make it fairly small and I’m Going to place it right around Adam’s Main face just because that’s what the Main focus is and if I adjust anything On this mask right now it’s going to Just affect Adam’s face which obviously Isn’t going to look good so I’m going to Right click this mask hit intersect with Mask and click select background this is Going to just affect the background and Nothing on Adam’s actual face and with This I’m going to just raise the Exposure a little bit and now I can get This really subtle halo effect around Adam This is without and this is after I Think we can both agree that it does Look better and it’s really subtle and It’s not something super obvious with This it still looks pretty good but I’m Not completely satisfied the next thing I want to do is I want to add a little Bit of life to this image just make the Colors pop a little bit more so if you Wanted you could raise the Vibrance just A little bit for your main image and Just bring up the colors that look
Desaturated to Lightroom just a little Bit up but I’m going to go a little bit Beyond that and go into my color grading Module now color grading is pretty Complicated and I’m not going to go Super in depth with that however if you Guys want to see a color grading Tutorial let me know I desperately want To make one but I don’t know if anyone Wants to see it so if you want to see it Let me know but with that I’m going to Go back into color grading now I have Three wheels here for mid-tones shadows And highlights I just want to affect the Highlights on Adam’s face because I just Want to give it a little bit of a pop I Like this beautiful orange light this Yellow light that we have on the side of His face and I want to just make it feel A little bit more like a sunset so what I’m going to do is I’m just going to Move the this little circle at the very Center of the image a little to the Right And if you grab the color circle on the Outside you can add any color you want If you’re someone that’s new to color Grading I recommend just experimenting See what looks good to you but I’m going To just add a little bit of orange to This image just to make it feel a little Bit more like a sunset with that I’ve Just added a little bit more life to the Image nothing major just something very
Subtle and I’m actually not going to go Into the shadows and mid-tones because I Again less is more but if you wanted you Could go into the Shadows add a bunch of Blue and get like a really cool look to It but for this tutorial we’re just Going to keep everything at zero apart From the highlights and with that I’ve Got a little bit more of a sunset look To it so with this I’m going to go into Linear gradient and just pull in a Linear gradient across Adam’s face Depending on your image it might need to Be smaller or bigger but I’m going to go Back into my adjustment tab here and Just make the color temperature a little Bit orange and that’s just going to help Sell it has a bit of a sunset portrait It’s very subtle if you take a look it Adds just a hint of orange to the back But now if I told you I took this photo At Sunset it’s a lot more believable and By adding a little bit here a little bit There it helps bring the whole image Together now if this was my final image For Adam I would feel very happy giving This to him and we started off from here And we are here and you can pretty much Take these steps and apply them to any Photos you’re working on and this will Make anyone that you’ve shot look more Attractive if that’s you a model or Client but people will look better on Camera with these simple adjustments
