How To Use Photoshop To Make Your Loved Ones Look Pretty

This is a very simple, quick method to make everyone have beautiful skin in these holidays family photos. I’ve used a variant of this method in the past years and it works perfectly.

It does work great because it will soften the skin but would leave enough texture to make the person look natural. And it’s simple and quick enough to apply it easily to several photos. [Two Cities Photography Group via Petapixel]

    Trust me, this way leads to MAJOR trouble, do not do this on your GF if you want her to stay your GF

      Speaking from experience? :-P

      I’ve actually gotten the exact opposite response… Maybe not all girls are crazy?!

      My partner and her friends love my pictures, and all I do is run it through autolevels filter in photoshop.

      If I airbrushed them I think they’d buy me presents.

        I’ve had the, “So you think I’m not good enough as I am” response :)

    Given that your whole family already knows exactly what each other looks like, what’s the point of shooping anything?
