Skin retouching in Photoshop uses techniques like frequency separation, dodge & burn, blemish removal, and color correction. These methods help preserve natural texture while correcting tones, removing imperfections, and achieving a polished, professional look.
To retouch black skin in Photoshop, focus on preserving undertones and natural texture. Use frequency separation to balance tone and texture, apply dodge & burn for subtle shaping, correct color casts, and avoid over-smoothing. Custom panels and plugins, like those shown in the Dark Skin Retouching Masterclass, speed up the process while keeping results realistic and professional.
The course is designed for Adobe Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud). For best performance, use Photoshop CC 2019 or later, as the plugins and panels demonstrated work best with newer versions.
Basic knowledge of Photoshop layers and tools is helpful, but not mandatory.
