RETOUCHING

The image used was gotten from VLE.


Firstly, after upload, I duplicated the background 

layer twice by clicking control J. I closed the layer 

visibility for layer 1 copy and make the layer 1 and 

background layer visible. Then selecting layer 1, I 

clicked on filter > blur > Gaussian blur to set the 

radius to 1.8 then make layer 1 copy visible and 

selecting it.

After selecting layer 1 copy, by clicking on image > apply image and setting the layer to layer 1, blending to subtract, leaving scale and offset as it is, I then clicked ok.

Selecting layer 1 again and using lasso tool to select small area of the forehead, then filter > blur > Gaussian blur to increase the radius a little more to 3.3 from 1.8, the area was fine tuned and made clear of blemish. Selecting the face randomly and repeating the process by clicking on Gaussian, I was able to achieve the image on the right hand side.

Using this method make the face looks a bit fake. Which make me to decide to use another method and compare the two images. See you in the next practice.
