2. Locate the Polygonal Lasso Tool > 3rd tool down on tool bar
3. Figure out which part of the person you would like to use

9. Eraser - Change your brush to Soft Round (Hardness 0%) and the flow should be set to around 20%. (Optional: Change opacity to 80%)
>>>> this will allow the blending process to get started and will make matching skin tones much easier! >>>> Focus on erasing the harsh outer line and come in to the area that you only wish to have left. |
11. Flatten once you are done with perfectly erasing all the harsh edges and feel everything will be easy to match skin tones. (To flatten, go to the layers tab, at the top right of that tab, you will see a small down arrow with 3 small lines. Click on it, this will open a drop down menu. Locate "Flatten Image" >> Towards the bottom.
12. Matching Skin Tones: Paint Brush (find the tool on the tool bar that looks just like a paint brush). You will need to adjust the settings to give you as much control as possible.
>>>Soft round brush (Hardness 0%) >>> Change opacity to 15% >>>Change flow to 15% >>>Click the Airbrush tool 12. If you hold option (alt on PC), you will see an eyedropper icon appear as your cursor. While holding Option, click once over the skin tone that you want. (This will change the color of your airbrush). "Paint" the skin tones that you would like to match. Try not to go to heavy, it will make it noticeable. |
