This is an example picture of what I did. One time I had to edit a guy with a black eye.

This is more like it...it still looks like a girl's skin tone, enhances without taking away. Very well done and nicely balanced. I wish I can learn to be as subtle.

^ Very nice. Though, other than the slight change in color, I tell what you've done...which is the key...I guess? LOL

Thanks Matt.

I forgot to pay attention to the shadows while applying the skin smoothing workflow. I was focused on the steps. Hehehe...

Thanks anyway for pointing it out.

What do you use? I sometimes use the workflow that I learned about in POTN. But there's the Portrait plugin and freebie Clear Skin FX by mediachance.

Here's a link:

CleanSkinFX

The best part is the price!

Right now? Well, I have few collections of work flows. I haven't really settled in one, yet. I'm still trying to figure out the pros & cons of each one.

The basic one I use is:
- healing tools
- high pass
- blur
- masking out
-reduce opacity to taste
- a little dodge & burn
======

What is POTN work flow? and the Clear Skin Plugin? I haven't tired them yet.

POTN is Photography on the Net, a photo forum like this one, but dedicated to Canon shooters, albeit no restrictions on Canon usage or ownership. Here let me give you a link to the worklow:

I have made my own "technique" recently that works quick and easy. I use the clone stamp tool at an opacity of 30 max and go over uneven spots. This way you can also salvage small blown out areas on cheeks and forehead. The intensity of the healing depends on how much opacity you use. Anything over 30 wont look natural IMHO

Before on the left, after on the right

Thanks.
That retouch finally convinced a friend of mine that I could make her look gorgeous, if she'd allow me to shoot some photos of her as gift to her husband. We're scheduled for late July . We'll see if she backs out.
