Quick Skin Retouch (photoshop)

This action is to help you quickly smooth skin while still maintaining the skins texture. No one wants to look like plastic! I use this action for all of my boudoir work.

Note: I do also use a plugin called Portraiture.. which I highly recommend! The plugin is to help cut down on my time editing. However, this action is something I use along with portraiture because it doesn't always get rid of all the blemishes and uneven skin tones like this action can. I have the action set to create a new layer for you so that after you use the brush tool to paint over everything that needs smoothed, you can adjust the opacity to keep the skin looking natural. The photo examples above of the before and after is using this action alone, no other skin smoothing plugins. (images are also edited with my lightroom preset, Sandstorm)
