Precision Beauty Edit: Mask & Channel Retouch
This retouching project showcases the power of precision editing using Photoshop’s layer masks and channel selections to enhance skin tone, isolate facial features, and maintain realistic detail. By working non-destructively, I was able to soften skin, refine highlights, and subtly contour the face — all while preserving texture and personality.
Techniques used include:
– Custom masks for targeted retouching
– Channel-based selections for high-contrast control
– Skin tone balancing using Curves and Selective Color
– Eye and lip enhancement for focus and definition
– Final polish with smart sharpening and tonal grading

This edit reflects a clean, professional look that enhances the subject’s features naturally without over-editing.
